Symmetry

Can you create symmetrical designs by cutting a square into strips?

Create a pattern on the small grid. How could you extend your pattern on the larger grid?

Explore ways of colouring this set of triangles. Can you make symmetrical patterns?

Are these statements always true, sometimes true or never true?

Find the missing coordinates which will form these eight quadrilaterals. These coordinates themselves will then form a shape with rotational and line symmetry.

Use the clues about the symmetrical properties of these letters to place them on the grid.

This problem explores the shapes and symmetries in some national flags.

Use the information on these cards to draw the shape that is being described.

This practical problem challenges you to make quadrilaterals with a loop of string. You'll need some friends to help!
