Line Symmetry



This week we are reviewing line symmetry. Another name for this is reflection symmetry, one half of the image is the reflection of the other half.

The 'Line of Symmetry' is the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly.

An excellent range of resources, including interactive lessons, are here.
BBC Bitesize have an excellent online lesson.

A line symmetry game is here.
Complete the reflections game is here.

Are you a symmetry artist? Try out this game!
Create your own symmetry pattern!

A step by step kaleidoscope game is a great way to start.
Create your own kaleidoscope - an excellent example of creating symmetry!
A less complicated kaleidoscope is available here.
