Completing figures using symmetry worksheet

In a creative and interactive worksheet designed for Key Stage 2 learners, the objective is to complete symmetric figures using a line of symmetry. The first activity requires the use of squared paper, rulers, mirrors, and tracing paper. Each child is tasked with drawing a specific shape, such as a square, on their grid paper, marking one of the sides as the mirror line with red dashes. Once the initial shape is drawn, the children exchange their papers with a partner, who then completes the shape by reflecting it across the indicated mirror line, ensuring that symmetry is maintained.

The worksheet also offers a variation to the first activity, where children are encouraged to draw only half of a shape and experiment with different shapes and positions of the mirror line, which adds complexity and fosters a deeper understanding of symmetry. In the second activity, children are again provided with rulers, mirrors, and tracing paper, but this time they are given grids with two lines and a marked mirror line. The challenge is to draw symmetrical shapes using the two lines, exploring how many different shapes can be created through symmetry. This activity not only reinforces the concept of symmetry but also encourages creativity and problem-solving among the students.
