There is quite a lot of work in the year 6 on symmetry and the subject often comes in the key stage 2 SATs.
This number includes important vocabulary and by the end of the year 6 children must know and be able to read, write and use the following quite tricky words:
Mirror, line of symmetry, line symmetry, symmetrical, reflect, reflection, translation, axis of symmetry, reflective symmetry.
They must also be able for symmetry with the help of a mirror and by folding testing.
Children are expected to outline the reflection of a simple form in a line of the mirror where no or only a part of the shape's edges parallel or perpendicular to the line of the mirror.
This might seem simple, but actually prove problematic to many children. A small mirror or tracing paper can be a great help with this.
