Thanks for all your work on this. It's a great intro to symmetry and I am looking forward to using it. My one suggestion is that I find that there is a lot of animation. Perhaps some of the words coming in can just "appear" as oppose to being "typed in". If kids aren't exposed to many PPT presentations the excellent content may get lost as they focus on the animations.

Thanks so much. I was in the midst of trying to create my own powerpoint to teach this when I came across yours. It does what I was attempting to do so much more succinctly and clearly than mine that I promptly deleted my work and am using yours!!! My grade 3's thank you as well!

I think this is a creative and well-thought out powerpoint, but I do have a couple of constructive comments as well. The ladybug may indeed have horizontal symmetry however, the placement of the ladybug does not align symmetrically with the arrow that is seen going through it. I teach my students that you should be able to completely fold the object in half and have both sides align in order for an object to be symmetrical. This picture may be confusing to students because the head appears only on the top portion of the line.

I appreciate the feedback and will certainly consider correcting that issue. If you are PowerPoint saavy, you should be able to correct it yourself by opening the presentation through PowerPoint (rather than double-clicking on it) and navigating to the slide with the ladybug. :-) Sooz
