Explore a secret garden to find shapes with one line of symmetry. Look for shapes that are hidden in objects, for example a pond, paving stone and park bench. Use the testing wand to fold the shapes into matching halves. Check your prediction. Find and test more hidden shapes. This learning object is one in a series of six objects.
Objective
Students distinguish between symmetrical and non-symmetrical 2D shapes.
Students test a shape for reflectional symmetry by folding it into a matching half.
Students analyse shapes with three or more axes of symmetry.
