Lines of Symmetry

Have a look at this lesson on lines of symmetry.


There are lots of different pictures which help you. The narrator's voice is really helpful too.

This link has a symmetry worksheet you can use to practice and this site has many different resources you can use. 

Don't forget to try using a mirror at home to see if shapes have lines of symmetry.

Play shape reveal at home

Play shape reveal at home.

Stop the reveal and ask a partner (mum or dad?) what they think the shape is.

Why?
Are you sure?
What can you see? (corners, sides, type of sides)

3D shape

We reviewed what we know about 3D shapes today...faces, corners and edges...for the common shapes, including the cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and pyramids.
Have a look at the great polydron shapes we made.
Can you spot the triangular prism, the tetrahedron (triangle base pyramid), the dodecahedron (twelve pentagonal sides) and even the truncated octahedron (what a mouthful that shape is)? This shape has two different kinds of faces:square and hexagonal.
