Symmetry - EAL
The activities in this resource are best used at the end of a unit looking at shapes and symmetry to revise the vocabulary pupils have encountered and to ensure they can apply the correct definitions to the visual representations of different types of shape and symmetry. Although the activities have been designed for pupils for whom English is an additional language, they are suitable for all pupils.
In the jigsaw activity pupils have to work in groups of 4 to determine a key word from a series of clues. The presentation helps to explain how to play the game, whilst the teacher guidance contains all the sheets required for pupils to complete the activity.
In addition, there is a card matching activity where pupils have to match a visual representation of a key word to its diagramatical representation.
The teacher notes give extra guidance on how to adapt the activities to provide additional support and challenge.
