Symmetry
Identify symmetric figures, test lines of symmetry and complete a symmetric figure on a square grid.
Your child learns what makes a figure symmetric: a fold line where the two halves fit exactly. They test every fold, diagonals included, count the lines of symmetry of figures and shaded grids, and complete a symmetric figure on a square grid by counting to the line and the same again past it, including across a diagonal line.

About this chapter
These Primary 4 symmetry questions develop the idea of an exact match across a straight line. Your child identifies symmetric figures, tests possible lines of symmetry and completes figures on a square grid. The position of each part matters, so equal-sized halves alone do not establish symmetry. Mixed practice asks your child to choose and justify the relevant check.
Practise by question type: lines of symmetry, completing symmetric figures and p4 symmetry mixed practice.

Primary 4 Symmetry Study Guide
Folding in your head, made visible. Five steps where figures flip over their fold lines and shaded squares find their partners, then worked examples and a five-question check that points to the right practice.
