Grid-based symmetry homework for Year 4 maths. Pupils answer four true or false statements, complete twelve grid patterns across vertical and horizontal mirror lines, try one diagonal reflection, then reason about a shape whose left side has 7 shaded squares. The key covers every grid and question. Practises the England National Curriculum objective on completing symmetric figures.
Geometry - properties of shapes
“Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry.”
Thirteen grids practise the objective across vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines.
Four true or false statements, like whether a horizontal mirror line goes straight up and down.
Eight grids where pupils shade the right side to match the left.
Four grids reflected top to bottom.
One reflection across a diagonal line, marked with crosses.
Reasoning, including how many shaded squares a completed shape will have if the left side has 7.
Homework
The grids are self-explanatory, so it travels home without instructions.
Main activity
The sections ramp from true or false up to diagonal reflections in one lesson.
Early finishers
Keep the diagonal challenge back as the stretch task.
