Symmetry Posters

The 'Symmetry Posters' define lines of symmetry in shapes and everyday items. Students will learn how symmetry can be used to create patterns.

Learning goals

We are learning to identify symmetry in the environment.
We are learning to create symmetrical patterns, pictures and shapes and recognise line and rotational symmetry of shapes.
