What is line symmetry?

A figure has line symmetry if it can be divided into two mirror-image halves by a line.

A figure that can be folded into a triangle

A figure that can be rotated and stay the same

What happens to a shape when it is reflected over a line of symmetry?

The shape appears as a mirror image on the opposite side of the line.

The shape becomes a different shape

Symmetry and line of symmetry

Grade -3 Subject Mathematics Concept: Patterns Chapter/ Topic: Patterns Sub Topic: Identifies simple symmetrical shapes and patterns Objective: Students will be able to identify simple symmetrical shapes and patterns using the universal design of learning, CPA approach, and engaging activities. Materials: Whiteboard and markers Symmetrical shapes and patterns flashcards Pattern blocks Construction paper Scissors Glue Procedure Introduction (5Minutes) Introduce the concept of simple symmetrical shapes and patterns to the students. Explain the concept of symmetry and how it can be found in various shapes and patterns. Show examples of symmetrical shapes and patterns using flashcards and discuss with the students. Activity-1 (10 minutes) Hand out pattern blocks to each student. Instruct students to create symmetrical shapes using the pattern blocks. Once they have created their shapes, have them identify the line of symmetry in each shape. Discuss as a class which shapes are symmetrical and why Activity-2 (10 minutes) Provide students with construction paper, scissors, and glue. Instruct students to create a symmetrical pattern art piece by cutting out shapes and arranging them in a symmetrical pattern. Encourage students to be creative with their designs. Have students share their symmetrical pattern art with the class. Assessment (5 minutes): To assess student understanding, ask students to identify the line of symmetry in various shapes and patterns shown on the whiteboard. Provide feedback to students on their responses to ensure they understand the concept of symmetry.
