LINES OF SYMMETRY

Learning Target Common Core Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.3 --

Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional
figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can
be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify
line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

Let’s simplify that…

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to identify and
draw lines of symmetry!

Get Excited! Here are some real life examples of symmetrical objects:

Practice First: Practice identifying lines of symmetry → IXL X.1

Second: Practice drawing lines of symmetry → IXL X.2

(Do you feel like you totally understand how to identify

lines of symmetry? If so, you can choose to skip directly
to drawing lines of symmetry.)

Create Your task: Create a quiz for your classmates!

Instructions:
● Using Google Slides or Google Docs, create a quiz
about lines of symmetry for your classmates.
● There must be at least 6 questions.
● At least 3 of the questions must ask to identify a
line of symmetry
● At least 3 of the questions must ask to draw a line
of symmetry
● Get creative! You can use basic shapes, but I’d
much rather see you take pictures of objects
and/or find pictures online!
