<p>A lovely Autumnal maths activity to consolidate 2 step repeating patterns</p>
<p>(3-step cards are included to stretch those little brains!)</p>
<p>Set of lessons looking at the use of symmetrical patterns and colour design on Day of the Dead skulls. The PowerPoint give detailed context about the Day of the Dead with questioning activities for group discussion. This is followed by a series of practical activities wherein pupils develop their own Day of the Dead skull designs. All resources needed art provided at the end of the PowerPoint to print out.</p>
<p>These worksheets are ideal resources for visual learners to learn how to recognize symmetrical shapes. Kids need to focus to perfectly recreate the shapes on the right. Each image contains a line of symmetry, providing the perfect opportunity for students to practice identifying and creating symmetrical patterns.</p>
<p>Teachers can use this product in various ways, from whole-class instruction to independent or small-group activities. It can be used as a warm-up exercise, a math center activity, or even as an assessment tool to evaluate students’ understanding of symmetry. A great addition to your math activity worksheets.</p>
<p>You will receive a PDF with 13 pages.</p>
This lesson plan was created by primary teacher Matilda Maxwell, to support the William Morris exhibition at Two Temple Place, London's newest exhibition space, http://www.twotempleplace.org/
This year we are running a series of FREE storytelling workshops for KS2 pupils that are designed to improve children&'s literacy and interaction with art. These will run in line with our upcoming exhibition &';Amongst Heroes: the artist in working Cornwall (1880-1920)'.

Students very quickly understand the concepts of reflections, rotations and symmetry when creating rangoli patterns. I always use this before starting the Transformations topic.<br />
<br />
Powerpoint and worksheets guide students step by step in creating these patterns.
I used these worksheets in Year 4 and the children moved through them at their own pace during the lesson starting with the first sheet. The third activity is quite difficult (two examples in the picture) so even the most able might need to start with the second sheet first. The last sheet is just blank for the children to fill in for each other in pairs if they've blasted through the other three!<br />

<p>This is a set of 9 worksheets and materials. I used some or all of these with Year 2 and LKS2 classes, to help pupils gain an understanding of symmetry in shapes and extending to coloured patterns in different arrangements. Depending on the pupil’s understanding, I encouraged them to work individually, with a partner or in a guided group to complete these. I also provided mirrors for these activities but tried to encourage pupils to use these as a form of checking answers as these could sometimes cause confusion rather than aid answering.</p>
<p>The 9 sets of sheets are;</p>
<ol>
<li>Lines of Symmetry shapes – these two sheets encourage pupils to identify all the lines of symmetry in given shapes.</li>
<li>Lines of Symmetry shapes ANSWERS – these two sheets are the answers to the above to aid with marking.</li>
<li>Symmetry letters low – this sheet allows pupils to organise given letters and symbols depending on whether or not they have lines of symmetry.</li>
<li>Symmetry letters top – this sheet is as above but for more able pupils requiring them to identify if the letters and symbols have one, more than one or no line of symmetry.</li>
<li>Symmetry letters cards – this is a master set of the cards required for sheets 3 and 4 above.</li>
<li>Symmetrical Patterns bl & wh – this sheet has an arrangement of 8 patterns represented on grids which are to be completed with regard to the vertical mirror line shown.</li>
<li>Symmetrical Patterns colour – this sheet is set out as the black and white version above but pupils are required to consider the placement of different colours. This could be used either as an extension activity or as a form of differentiation given only to more able pupils.</li>
<li>Symmetrical Patterns blank – this sheet is set out as the black and white and coloured versions above but are blank grids. This allows pupils to create their own patterns for symmetrical completion either by themselves or for swapping with a partner.</li>
<li>Symmetrical colour patterns – these three sheets follow a similar principle to that used in sheets 6, 7 and 8 however it extends to thinking about horizontal mirror lines and culminating in a grid that can be used to create symmetrical patterns across 4 quadrants.</li>
</ol>
A quick worksheet featuring rangoli designs where children have to work out how many lines of symmetry each design has.
This worksheet could be used to help teach children about Hindu festivals and could lead on to introducing children to rotational symmetry. It could also lead on to an art activity where children could design their own rangoli pattern.
Lower, middle and higher ability worksheets.<br />
Colouring in the symmetrical pattern. <br />
Extension task with 4 quadrants and a draw your own grid. <br />
<br />
Suitable for Lower KS2 or SEN Upper KS2.
<p>See how moths and butterflies have symmetrical wing patterns whilst learning about these UK insects. Bright, clear illustrations and colouring/ painting sheets with identification guides. Ideal for primary aged students looking at nature or encountering wildlife in Forest Schools.</p>
<p>Forms part of a wider range of resources ideal for a school Wildlife Club.</p>
<p>Living World Education resources are always free and intended to support teachers develop young people to have an interest and understanding of nature.</p>
<p>An introductory worksheet designed for children working at level 2 or 3 of the national curriculum or for older children to revise from. Children shade in the squares to reflect the pattern at the other side of the “mirrorâ€. Topics also included: understanding space and shape; Reflective symmetry.</p>
<p>The product includes a 10x10 grid filled with various Christmas-themed pixel art images. Each image contains lines of symmetry, providing the perfect opportunity for students to practice identifying and creating symmetrical patterns.</p>
<p>With a wide range of colorful and captivating designs. students will be motivated to explore the concept of symmetry. By coloring and completing the symmetrical patterns, students will develop their spatial awareness and critical thinking skills.</p>
<p>Teachers can use this product in various ways, from whole-class instruction to independent or small-group activities. It can be used as a warm-up exercise, a math center activity, or even as an assessment tool to evaluate students’ understanding of symmetry.</p>

<p>Reflect symmetry related words in mirror lines and also shapes in vertical, horizontal and diagonal mirror lines.</p>
<p>• Reflect the words in the mirror lines (colouring squares & drawing lines)<br />
• Reflect the patterns in the mirror lines (colouring squares)<br />
• Reflect the shapes in the mirror lines (drawing lines)</p>
<p>There are multiple pages for each activity.</p>
<p>Answers included.</p>
This pack contains <br />
- 14 worksheets<br />
- A Powerpoint of the slides for use in class<br />
<br />
- Encourage students to explore rotational and reflective symmetry using patterns based on Rangoli, traditional Indian patterns often seen at festivals such as Divali.<br />
<br />
- Pupils can design their own patterns on both square and hexagonal grids.<br />
<br />
They can be used individually, and are equally valuable to supplement existing teaching materials, for<br />
• Homework • Reinforcement • Extension work • Mixed-age environments.
A 22 slide PPT that introduces symmetry in nature and then moves on to describe symmetry in pictures, patterns and shapes. I used it in parts over a series of lessons.<br />
The presentation is animated and interactive, my class displayed crosses or ticks on whiteboards to indicate if images were symmetrical or not. Very comprehensive, just click and teach.
