SS4.4
Demonstrate an understanding of line symmetry by:
  • identifying symmetrical 2-D shapes
  • creating symmetrical 2-D shapes
  • drawing one or more lines of symmetry in a 2-D shape.

[C, CN, V]

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Identify the characteristics of given symmetrical and non-symmetrical 2-D shapes.

(b)

Sort a set of 2-D shapes as symmetrical and non-symmetrical.

(c)

Complete a symmetrical 2-D shape given half the shape and its line of symmetry.

(d)

Explain how symmetry and fractions are related.

(e)

Identify lines of symmetry in a set of 2-D shapes and explain why each shape is symmetrical.

(f)

Determine whether or not a given 2-D shape is symmetrical by using a Mira or by folding and superimposing.

(g)

Create a symmetrical shape with and without manipulatives.

(h)

Provide examples of symmetrical shapes found in the environment and identify the line(s) of symmetry.

(i)
