Year 2- Finding symmetry!

Date: 4th Dec 2025 @ 9:18am

In maths we learnt about lines of symmetry, focusing on vertical lines of symmetry. We began by looking at a variety of 2D shapes and discussing what symmetry means and that a shape is symmetrical if it can be folded into two matching halves. We then carried out a practical activity where they cut out different shapes such as squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles. They experimented with folding the shapes to see if they could find a vertical line of symmetry. After folding, the children used pencils and rulers to draw the vertical lines of symmetry clearly on each shape.
