To investigate a problem using symmetry (Part 1)

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. In this lesson, we will recap the knowledge we have developed on symmetry. We will investigate different types of shapes and patterns and use our new knowledge to solve problems based on their lines of symmetry. We will draw, investigate and justify our ideas.
