National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 4: (4G2b) Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations

Differentiation:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using simple regular polygons with up to 2 lines of symmetry. All shapes in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using regular polygons with up to 8 lines of symmetry. All shapes in the same ‘non-standard’ orientation in each question.
Greater Depth Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using irregular polygons with any number of lines of symmetry. All shapes in unique orientations.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 3 simple regular polygons with up to 2 lines of symmetry used. All shapes in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 4 regular polygons with up to 8 lines of symmetry used. All shapes in the same ‘non-standard’ orientation in each question.
Greater Depth Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 5 irregular polygons with any number of lines of symmetry used. All shapes in unique orientations.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Find all the lines of symmetry (up to 2) in an image made up of multiple shapes. Up to 4 simple regular polygons used, all in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Find all the lines of symmetry (up to 8) in an image made up of multiple shapes. Up to 8 regular polygons used, in a mix of ‘standard’ and ‘non-standard’ orientations.
Greater Depth Find all the lines of symmetry (any number) in an image made up of multiple shapes. Up to 12 irregular polygons used, all in ‘non-standard’ orientations.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Find the symmetrical shape from a set of 2 shapes and explain what makes it symmetrical. Simple shapes with up to 4 sides used, with one obviously asymmetrical.
Expected Find the 2 asymmetrical shapes from a set of 3 shapes and explain what makes each of them asymmetrical. More complex shapes with up to 8 sides used, with more subtle reasons for asymmetry.
Greater Depth Find the 3 asymmetrical shapes from a set of 4 shapes and explain what makes each of them asymmetrical. Very complex shapes with any number of sides used, with very subtle reasons for asymmetry.
