Learning Objectives
Students will be able to draw lines of symmetry on 2-D shapes, classroom objects, and food items. Students will be able to identify if a shape or object has more than one line of symmetry.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Explain to students that they will be learning about lines of symmetry today.
- Ask students if they know what the word symmetry means.
