Symmetry Line Drawing
How I Used Symmetry Line Drawing with my Class
I printed off two versions of my symmetry, line drawing for Halloween and a pumpkin picture, as well as a skull picture for students to choose which work sheet they wanted to complete. Then I explained, we would do a drawing contest, similar to a colouring contest, where I would be looking for neatness as well as accuracy in their symmetry line drawing.
After we were done, students would then vote for their favourite pumpkin, drawing, as well as their favourite skull drawing and I would give the winners a Halloween themed eraser as their prize.
This was a fun way to incentivize students and also get students to use their best drawing skills to complete these symmetry line drawings.
Here are their results below!

Middle schoolers love hands-on activities that feel purposeful but also give them room to be creative. This symmetry drawing project ticks all the boxes:
No Prep for You
