Lines of Symmetry Worksheets: Finding Symmetry in Polygons on Grids

Line Symmetry Practice Worksheets

Grades 4-6

Here are four worksheets of increasing difficulty to help your students in grades 4-6 practice the following skills:

1) Identifying and drawing lines of symmetry on polygons on a grid.

2) Creating interesting shapes and designs that are symmetrical either vertically or horizontally.

How to Use:

• Choose which worksheets you will use with your students and print a class set.

• Practice 1: Students look at six shapes on a grid. They need to draw lines of symmetry on each shape (one has none, two have one line, two have two lines, and one has a diagonal line of symmetry).

• Practice 2: Students are shown half of a large, interesting shape on a grid. They need to recreate the other half over the given line of symmetry.

• Practice 3: Students are asked to draw a line of symmetry and make their own half shape. They will trade with a friend and finish their friend’s shape.

• Practice 4: Students are asked to create a colourful design on a grid. Parts of the design should be vertically and horizontally symmetrical. The finished products could be a beautiful bulletin board display!

These worksheets could be used in many ways. They can become part of your unit as activities during class lessons. One or more could be a homework assignment. You could even use one for an assessment of your students' learning.

Grades to Use With:

These line symmetry worksheets are designed for students in grades 4-6 who are learning about symmetry or the reflection type of transformation. They could also be used in middle school special education classes.
