This document discusses symmetry and how to identify symmetric figures. It defines symmetry as figures that can be folded along a line and have mirror-image halves. Examples of symmetric figures include those that can be divided into two equal parts that are mirror images of each other when folded along the line of symmetry. The document encourages identifying lines of symmetry in everyday objects and creating both symmetric and asymmetric shapes.

2. WALT
• What a symmetric figure is
• How to identify a line of symmetry
• State what happens when you fold a
symmetric object about its line of symmetry

3. These are symmetric figures

4. What you see are lines of symmetry

5. The halves along the line are mirror
images of each other

6. I like to fold it, fold it
• Your worksheet is rectangular in shape.
• Fold it into two symmetric halves.

7. CAN YOU IMAGINE IT?

10. Which figures are symmetric?
a b c d e f

11. Ans: a, d, e
a b c d e f

12. Ma MPAH WB Pg 111:
Which figures are symmetric?
Ans: B, D, E, F, G, H

13. Ma MPAH WB Pg 112:
Which figures are symmetric?
Ans: A, C, D

15. • In your pairs, make a list of at least 10
examples of everyday symmetrical objects
• Pick 5 and draw them along with their lines of
symmetry

16. Let’s hear from some of you

17. Now it’s time to…

19. The dotted lines divide these figures into equal
halves, but they are not lines of symmetry.
Can you explain why?
The two parts do not fit exactly when folded along
the dotted line.

20. In which figure(s) is the dotted line a
line of symmetry?
a b c d e

21. Ans: b, d, e
a b c d e

22. Now that we totally understand
what symmetry is, we can MAKE a
piece of art that is symmetric

23. Time for an activity

24. In your PAIRS
• Make one SYMMETRIC shape
• Make one NON-SYMMETRIC shape
