Symmetry and Geometric Shapes on Campus
Build on your learners' previous knowledge of geometric shapes and symmetrical figures. Then set them out to take photos of geometric shapes on campus. They assess whether the photos contain symmetry or not.
Curated OER
Shapes in Motion
Learners practice moving different shaped objects through a series of transformations. In groups, they discuss other ways to manipulate the figure to achieve the same results. They solve multiple story problems in the same manner.
