Lines of Symmetry, Shapes and Symbols

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Which shapes are symmetrical? Third graders decide which shapes have lines of symmetry, and which shapes are not symmetrical. They work on 13 shapes and symbols, four of which have lines already drawn through them. Use this resource to reinforce your elementary geometry lesson.
