Colour the squares on the other side of the mirror line. Three grid sizes, a new sheet every click.
Line symmetry is everywhere children look: butterflies, faces, letters and buildings. On a squared grid it becomes something they can check exactly. Each coloured square has a partner at the same distance on the other side of the mirror line, in the same row. Completing the pictures trains careful counting, spatial reasoning and attention to detail, and it prepares for the reflections studied later in geometry. Three grid sizes make the pictures more detailed as children grow.
Best for ages 6–11
6×6 from about 6, 8×8 from 7–8, and 10×10, with two colours, from 9.
The sheets print fine in black and white: grey squares are easy to copy, or the child can choose their own colours.
Yes, switch it on before printing: it shows each finished symmetrical picture.
