These free printable symmetry pattern worksheets are an excellent way to enhance your child's pattern recognition skills.
These are a little more detailed so are ideal for children aged around 8 - 10. However it completely depends on your child’s ability as each child is different so don’t feel pressured if your child is not ready for them yet.
Having said that, if you think your child will struggle with them, maybe help them with the first few and then see how they get on. It might be that all they needed was a little nudge to get their thinking hats on.
This free symmetry pattern printable consists of 10 free activity sheets so can be used once a day for 2 weeks!

If your child enjoys these (or if you think they’d prefer a different way to try symmetry) why not try these image symmetry sheets.
They’re image based, so some children may prefer them and they may be ideal for younger children.
This reflector is a great way to help aid in teaching symmetry. It reflects but also is slightly transparent so the cild can draw the pattern on the other side with a little help.
