Symmetry - Lesson Plan

This document provides a lesson plan on symmetry for grades 1-2. The 45 minute lesson has three parts: an introduction where students are introduced to symmetry and related vocabulary (10 mins); a development section where students identify lines of symmetry in different shapes (20 mins); and a consolidation section where students complete a worksheet identifying symmetrical shapes and do a cutting activity with paper (15 mins). The lesson concludes with a discussion of what was learned. The teacher will evaluate student achievement and the effectiveness of the lesson.
