SYMMETRY PUZZLES - PUBLIC RECAP
Exploration Recap
Symmetry Puzzles is an exploration that takes a common skill—line symmetry—and adds a creative twist! Rather than simply identifying symmetry on a worksheet, Mathletes use logic and problem-solving skills to solve vertical, horizontal and diagonal symmetry puzzles to take their skills to the next level. Bonus: This activity includes Google Classroom-compatible resources!
Materials Needed
- 1 Puzzle handout per student or group (3 options: Vertical Symmetry, Horizontal Symmetry, Diagonal Symmetry)
- 1 scissors for each student or group
- 2 Blank Symmetry Puzzle sheets per student or group (optional)
