- A line that runs straight up and down is called a
vertical line.
- A line that runs from left to right across the paper is called a
horizontal line.
Label the horizontal and vertical lines in each of these images:
- Book: The arrow on the left side (up and down) indicates a
vertical line. The top and bottom edges are
horizontal lines.
- Table: The double-headed arrow along the top surface indicates a
horizontal line. The legs represent
vertical lines.
- Envelope: The double-headed arrow along the bottom edge indicates a
horizontal line. The sides of the envelope represent
vertical lines.
Sort the letters into the table:
- Horizontal line of symmetry: 2) Triangle, 4) Circle, 6) O, 7) Rectangle
- Vertical line of symmetry: 3) D, 5) H, 6) O, 8) M
- Horizontal and vertical line of symmetry: 4) Circle, 5) H, 6) O
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of vertical and horizontal lines worksheet.
