Teddy Bear Mirror Image

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a drawing exercise that features a grid with a vertical line down the middle, creating a mirror line of symmetry. On one side of this line is a partially completed drawing of a teddy bear, which includes one ear, half the face, an arm, and part of the bear’s body and feet. Students are asked to replicate the other half of the teddy bear on the blank side of the grid, aiming to create a symmetrical image that accurately matches the existing drawing. This worksheet combines fine motor skills development with an understanding of symmetry.

The worksheet educates students on the concept of reflective symmetry, an essential aspect of both art and mathematics. It teaches them to observe and replicate mirrored images, enhancing their attention to detail and spatial reasoning. The task of drawing the teddy bear’s missing half helps to improve hand-eye coordination and precision in drawing. Moreover, this activity serves as a creative way for students to practice geometry concepts in a context that is engaging and accessible.
