About this worksheet
Twelve colorful shapes, from a square and a hexagon to a heart, a star and a parallelogram. Kids draw each line of symmetry and count them; the answers range from 0 lines (parallelogram, right triangle) to 6 (hexagon). The answer key is on page 2. It fits second grade, around ages 7 to 8.
Tips for using it
- Let kids hold a small mirror on the dashed line: the reflection shows exactly what the missing half should look like.
- Count from the line, not from the edge of the grid. Every point is the same number of squares from the dashed line on both sides.
- Draw the corner dots first and connect them afterwards; it is easier to fix a dot than a long line.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
