Day 1: Understand create symmetrical patterns. What do you notice about the pattern? © hamilton-trust. org. uk 6 Year 1

Day 1: Understand create symmetrical patterns. To make it symmetrical, we need to draw the exact same patterns on the other half. Cut out the butterfly template in resources and draw some patterns on one half of it. © hamilton-trust. org. uk 7 Year 1

Day 1: Understand create symmetrical patterns. Place a mirror on the centre line of the butterfly and demonstrate how this shows the pattern on the other half. © hamilton-trust. org. uk 8 Year 1

Day 2: Spot whether a pattern/object is symmetrical. Butterflies What does symmetry mean? Talk to your partner. Which butterflies are not symmetrical? © hamilton-trust. org. uk 11 Year 1

Day 2: Spot whether a pattern/object is symmetrical. Butterflies Why aren’t they symmetrical ? What is different? © hamilton-trust. org. uk 12 Year 1

Day 2: Spot whether a pattern/object is symmetrical. What do you have that is the same on both sides? Explain the line of symmetry. What is the same? What is different? © hamilton-trust. org. uk 13 Year 1

Problem solving and reasoning questions Draw a symmetrical pattern by colouring squares on squared paper. You may only colour 24 squares in all – NO more! Draw a line of symmetry on each of these shapes: Draw a symmetrical shape with two straight lines and one curved line. © hamilton-trust. org. uk 16 Year 1

Problem solving and reasoning: Answers Draw a symmetrical pattern by colouring squares on squared paper. You may only colour 24 squares in all – NO more! Various answers possible – check with a mirror. Draw a line of symmetry on each of these shapes: Watch out for children who assume that a line of symmetry must be vertical. Check with a mirror. Draw a symmetrical shape with two straight lines and one curved line. One example is shown: © hamilton-trust. org. uk 17 Year 1
