Lines of Symmetry on Shapes

By the end of this unit, children will be able to:

  1. Understand the concept of symmetry in 2D shapes.
  2. Recognize and identify lines of symmetry in common 2D shapes.
  3. Differentiate between shapes based on the presence or absence of lines of symmetry.
  4. Identify and draw lines of symmetry in simple 2D shapes.
  5. Explore and create symmetric designs using shapes.
  6. Solve real-life problems involving lines of symmetry.
