- For the top-left grid with a horizontal line of symmetry, shade the squares in the bottom half that mirror the shaded squares in the top half across the line.
- For the top-right grid with a vertical line of symmetry, shade the squares on the right side that mirror the shaded squares on the left side across the line.
- For the middle-left grid with a diagonal line from bottom-left to top-right, shade the squares below the line that mirror the shaded squares above the line across the diagonal.
- For the middle-right grid with a diagonal line from top-left to bottom-right, shade the squares below the line that mirror the shaded squares above the line across the diagonal.
- For the bottom-left grid with both horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry, shade the squares in the bottom-left, bottom-right, and top-right quadrants to mirror the shaded squares in the top-left quadrant across both lines.
- For the bottom-right grid with two diagonal lines of symmetry (forming an X), shade the squares in the other three triangular sections to mirror the shaded squares in the top section across both diagonals.
