Symmetry concepts begin in Year 2 with identifying symmetrical shapes. By Year 4, students explore lines of symmetry, progressing to rotational symmetry by Year 6.

In Tutero's symmetry lesson, students explore the concept of symmetry in shapes and designs. They identify lines of symmetry and learn about bilateral (mirror) and radial (rotational) symmetry. Through hands-on activities and creative tasks, students appreciate the balance and aesthetics achieved through symmetry, which is prevalent in art, architecture, and nature. This understanding enhances their spatial awareness and visual perception.
The symmetry lesson plan includes enabling prompts to assist students in identifying symmetrical shapes and patterns, alongside extending prompts for those ready to explore lines of symmetry in more complex geometric figures. This approach enhances students' understanding of balance and proportion in shapes.

Tutero’s symmetry exercise sheets encourage students to delve into the world of symmetrical designs by exploring natural and man-made objects that exhibit symmetry. From creating nature-inspired patterns, such as butterfly wings and floral arrangements, to architectural drawings of buildings and landscapes.

Identifying Symmetrical Shapes
Students start by identifying symmetry in simple shapes and patterns. They learn to recognise lines of symmetry and explore symmetry in more complex geometric figures. By Year 5, they analyse symmetry in natural and human-made objects, understanding its aesthetic and practical implications.
Drawing Symmetrical Figures
Initially using basic drawing techniques to create symmetrical shapes, students advance to constructing more complex symmetrical designs using geometric tools. By Year 5, they create intricate symmetrical figures, understanding the principles of balance and design in art and architecture.
Symmetry in Nature and Art
Students explore examples of symmetry in nature and art, identifying symmetrical patterns in leaves, animals, and artistic compositions. They learn to appreciate and create symmetrical designs, applying this concept to projects in art and environmental studies by Year 5.
