A worksheet on lines of symmetry. The exercises require to:

• find all the lines of symmetry of given shapes
• draw the symmetrical images of given shapes about a line
• draw the line of symmetry for two given symmetrical shapes
  There are five pages of exercises. Solutions are provided.

Looking for a comprehensive, no-prep Year 4 and Year 5 Lines of Symmetry & Reflection Activity Pack to introduce or review essential geometry skills? This printable maths resource guides primary pupils through identifying line symmetry, drawing mirror images, and finding the reflection line between two shapes. Complete with full step-by-step visual answers, it is perfect for independent maths centres, homework, or structured exam prep!

This all-in-one printable activity pack delivers a progressive, highly visual approach to teaching symmetry. It transitions pupils smoothly from identifying lines of symmetry in everyday shapes and regular polygons to drawing complete mirror images and locating reflection axes.

What Skills Are Covered?

• Identifying Lines of Symmetry: 12 structured problems featuring common geometric shapes, everyday symbols, butterflies, and regular polygons (pentagons, hexagons, and octagons).
• Drawing Symmetrical Reflections: Guided grid activities where pupils look at a pre-drawn shape and sketch its exact mirror image across horizontal, vertical, and diagonal reflection lines.
• Finding the Line of Symmetry: Advanced spatial awareness problems where pupils must analyse two pre-reflected shapes and accurately draw the missing reflection line.

Why Teachers Love This Resource:

• No-Prep Printables: Just print and copy! It is a complete, standalone booklet ready for your primary geometry unit or cover lessons.
• Visual Mark Schemes: Full, step-by-step drawn solutions are included for every single page to make grading effortless or allow pupils to self-check.
• Scaffolded Practice: Ideal for mixed-ability maths classes, offering clear visual support that builds confidence from basic identification to multi-step reflection drawings.
