About this worksheet

What students practice

Students decide whether a dashed line is a line of symmetry of a two-dimensional figure.
Students count all the lines of symmetry in figures, including turned shapes and circles.
Students draw every line of symmetry on a figure and explain why matching pieces are not enough.

How to use

Give students paper cutouts of a rectangle and a parallelogram to fold before they start. In Part 1, have them picture folding each bed on the dashed line before they sort.

Symmetry in the Community Garden

Test fold lines, count lines of symmetry, and draw them on garden beds.

Part 1: Test the strings

A line of symmetry folds a shape into two halves that match exactly, with no part sticking out. The garden club stretches a string across each bed. The string is the dashed line.

Picture folding each bed on its dashed string. Is the string a line of symmetry? Sort the beds.
