Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Identify Lines Of Symmetry. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Given a half of a shape draw the other half to create a symmetric figure.

Identify and draw lines of symmetry in quadrilaterals.

Squares have 4 lines of symmetry (Half both vertical and horizontal as well as diagonals in both directions), Rectangles have 2 lines of symmetry (Horizontal and vertical), trapezoid has 1 (vertical), parallelogram has 0 lines of symmetry.

Recognize and draw line(s) of symmetry and line-symmetric figures. (May be multiple or no lines of symmetry given the shape).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

Are all shapes the same? What does it mean if a shape is symmetrical? What makes a square special as compared to a regular rectangle?

After the Game

What is a line of symmetry? How many lines of symmetry does a parallelogram have? Can you think of a shape that has no line of symmetry? How many lines of symmetry does a circle have?
