A row of different shapes is shown. For every shape, it has to be determined whether the shape has a given type of symmetry. To make the task easier, the problem can be configured to provide the number of shapes in this row that do. A wonderful resource to grasp the understanding related to the symmetry of shapes. It will be more enjoyable and thoughtful when used in small groups as learners can discuss different points to check symmetry. The complexity level can be personalized to use these worksheets from grade 4 to grade 6.

The firm practice of these worksheets can help to achieve the following array of targets.
