See if you can sort the shapes by their lines of symmerty. I recommend playing in bounce back to recieve otherwise lacking feedback.

(Lesson 10.4 )

=Find the Lines of Symmetry Game= []

In this game you need to find the possible lines of symmetry for each shape. Make sure you take your time and find all the possible lines of symmetry. This game offers great feedback to correct and incorrect answers.

(Lesson 10.4)

=Do Anytime Activities=

Have your child look for repeating borders or frieze patterns (a design made of shapes that are in a line or lined up) on buildings, rugs, and floors. Your child may want to sketch the friezes or draw original patterns.

Use sidewalk chalk to make a number line with positive and negative numbers. Have your child solve addition and subtraction problems by walking on the number line. For example: to solve -2 + 6, your child would start on -2 and walk to the right six numbers to find the sum. Switch roles. For an inside activity, use paper, pencil, and fingers.
