Explore a futuristic city to find shapes with at least three lines of symmetry. Look for shapes that are hidden in objects, for example a pentagon, square and triangle. 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.
