What’s Included:

 

⭐ Lesson Slides: Introduction to Symmetry (Slides 1–2)

Introduce and teach:

• What symmetry means
• What a line of symmetry is
• How objects can have one or more lines of symmetry

👆 Use these slides for direct instruction before independent practice.

 

⭐ Symmetrical Shape Puzzles (Slides 3–11)

Students:

• Drag puzzle pieces together to reveal the full shape
• Read the sentence identifying the shape
• Tap the dots while reading

Shapes included:

• Circle
• Square
• Rectangle
• Triangle
• Hexagon
• Star
• Trapezoid
• Diamond
• Pentagon

These slides help students visually understand how two halves form a symmetrical shape.

 

⭐ Is It Symmetrical? (Slides 12–18)

Students:

• Look at a picture
• Decide if it is symmetrical or not
• Drag a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to show their answer
• Draw the line of symmetry if the picture is symmetrical

Builds early reasoning about symmetry and mirror images.

 

⭐ Make It Symmetrical – Pattern Blocks (Slides 19–24)

Students:

• Use digital pattern blocks to complete the other half of the picture
• Build symmetrical designs using a vertical line of symmetry

This activity strengthens spatial reasoning and symmetry awareness.

 

⭐ Create Your Own Symmetrical Picture (Slide 25)

Students:

• Use digital pattern blocks
• Design their own symmetrical picture
• Build using a vertical line of symmetry

Encourages creativity and open-ended exploration.

 

⭐ Horizontal Line of Symmetry (Slides 26–31)

Students:

• Use pattern blocks to complete symmetrical designs
• Work with a horizontal line of symmetry

Helps students recognize that symmetry can occur in different orientations.

 

⭐ Create Your Own Horizontal Symmetry Design (Slide 32)

Students design their own symmetrical picture using a horizontal line of symmetry.

 

⭐ Grid Symmetry (Slides 33–37)

Students:

• Use digital squares to complete symmetrical pictures on a grid
• Work with a vertical line of symmetry

Builds spatial awareness and positional reasoning.

 

⭐ Create Your Own Grid Symmetry Design (Slide 38)

Students:

• Create their own symmetrical grid picture
• Use digital squares to build their design.

Tech Tips

• Use in EDIT mode (not Present mode) so movable pieces work.
• If assigning in Google Classroom, students using iPads/tablets must have the Google Slides app installed to manipulate pieces.
• You may also download the slides as a PowerPoint file to use on a SMARTBoard.
