Symmetry Worksheets - Free Printable

1. Identify the mirror lines in each of the four sections of the worksheet. These are the vertical and horizontal lines that act as axes of symmetry.

2. For each section, observe the existing pattern on one side of the mirror lines. The task is to complete the pattern by reflecting the existing shapes across both the vertical and horizontal mirror lines.

3. Reflect the given shapes across the vertical mirror line first. This means that for every point on the existing shape, draw a corresponding point the same distance from the vertical line but on the opposite side.

4. Next, reflect the resulting shape (including the original and its vertical reflection) across the horizontal mirror line. This means that for every point on the current shape, draw a corresponding point the same distance from the horizontal line but on the opposite side.

5. Connect the reflected points to complete the symmetrical pattern. Ensure that the completed pattern is symmetrical across both the vertical and horizontal mirror lines.

6. Repeat this process for each of the four sections on the worksheet to complete all the patterns.
