Symmetry

Is this the line of symmetry? Scholars analyze 12 images to determine whether or not the dotted line in each reflects symmetry. There are three examples for them to reference before they start, so consider reviewing these together before learners do the rest on their own. Also, these aren't numbered so you may want to do this before copying to make review easier. Challenge pupils to create their own symmetric drawings of familiar objects once they finish!
