L earning about symmetry is so important — if you’re looking for a fun way to enhance this skill, you’re in the right place!

(The line of symmetry can be constructed as a set of overlapping blue and red points.) Have the students explore drawing continuous symmetric shapes using vertical symmetry (Sketch 1) and oblique ...
