Symmetry, lines of symmetry and reflective symmetry
Description
Star, Sky and Hutch, a cake and a butterfly are used to demonstrate symmetry, lines of symmetry and reflective symmetry using mirror images. A short symmetry of shapes test is then given to Hutch and Star. Pupils can take part alongside the animated characters to detect symmetrical and non-symmetrical shapes.
Classroom Ideas
Each student could be provided with a piece of paper, then asked to fold it in half. Students could then cut shapes from the folded pieces of paper to demonstrate the line of symmetry.
