Use this simple but effective symmetry worksheet to reinforce the concepts of symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes with your Grade Four students.
Differentiating Between Symmetrical and Asymetrical Shapes
This simple but fun single-page worksheet requires students to first identify the symmetry of each shape by drawing lines of symmetry in, before using a colour-coding system to mark whether a shape does or does not have symmetry.
Through completion of this activity, students will show their ability to differentiate between symmetrical and asymmetrical (non-symmetrical) shapes.
An answer key is included with your download to make marking fast and easy!
