Symmetry Grid Activity - Star
A grid activity for students to develop their knowledge of symmetry.
This grid activity is perfect for developing a student’s knowledge and understanding of symmetry.
Ask your students to color in the matching grid squares to create a reflection of the left-hand side of the page. This will reveal a mystery picture.
Once the picture has been revealed, your students can color it in.
As an extension activity, have students determine the fraction, decimal, and percentage of each color, or write the colors as ratios.
This resource is perfect to use as a math center or fast finisher activity.
