Drawings and Activities for Symmetry

It was so fun to put together these seasonal symmetry drawings! These Symmetry Drawing Worksheets are free downloads for my email community.

[{"selector":"#anim-937b3bad-5df2-42a8-8bb2-fac98e769b69","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b639661a-7c1c-4ad6-817a-0817b99d4060","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 190.43771%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

They are given the left side of the drawing, with each page challenging them to complete the right side—a fun way to create symmetrical art.

I also want to share a variety of different symmetrical line activities that will not only be fun for your students but will also increase their understanding of symmetry.

[{"selector":"#anim-e3c252fc-a79a-4d31-8b09-96a354ad72ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d3ab1bd6-c39a-4933-b81a-f067da95f207","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-182bdda1-5f30-4ed6-9273-3b88a96fefe5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f7f49dc-9323-40d8-b279-20112d9440cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09255ffb-4931-4a4d-b0bc-8aac709bfd0c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

These games I shared could be extended to include symmetry learning. Toss your diving ring onto a shape that has only 1 line of symmetry.
