Lines of symmetry
Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry
Suggested ages 8–9
Learning journey
Your child is advancing their understanding of shapes and space — working with coordinates on grids, identifying different types of angles, exploring symmetry, and classifying shapes by their properties.
Evidence of understanding
- Given half a butterfly shape and a mirror line, complete the other half on a grid
- Complete a symmetric pattern on squared paper with a vertical line of symmetry
- Check a completed figure by folding along the mirror line
Assessment prompt
If you show Lines of symmetry half a shape drawn on squared paper with a mirror line marked, can they draw the missing half so the whole shape is perfectly symmetrical?
