Symmetry is an important concept in both math and art. In addition, symmetry is commonly found in nature. For example, faces, bodies, and flowers are all generally symmetrical.

Children are born with an innate sense of symmetry. Teaching symmetry builds upon their inborn understandings, allowing them to better learn concepts.

When teaching symmetry, we should focus not just on geometric forms (although these are important) but also on organic shapes found in our environment, including animals, plants, and everyday objects.

I’m excited to announce the release of my Basic Symmetry Activities Pack filled with hands-on activities to help children learn about symmetry.

Note: For more hands-on math activities and printables, see my Math Activities for Kids page.

The most basic form of symmetry that is taught to children is known as reflection symmetry. Reflection symmetry is the quality of being made up of identical, facing parts. A symmetrical object, therefore, can be divided into identical parts that are mirror images of each other.

My Basic Symmetry Activities Pack is perfect for children in preschool through grade 1 who are learning about symmetry.

The activities in this pack include:

Cut and Fold Along the Line(s) of Symmetry
