Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. In this lesson, we will learn to recognise patterns and how they repeat. We will continue to explore what symmetry is and how to recognise lines of symmetry in 2D shapes and patterns containing these shapes. We will continue to develop strong mathematical language about shape, symmetry and pattern.
