Symmetrical Shapes
Students find symmertical shapes around their school. In this symmetry lesson plan, students create symmetrical shapes. Students print symmetrical shapes from Kidworks Deluxe and take pictures of objects around their school that are...
Curated OER
Digital Cameras and Symmetry
Young scholars take pictures of shapes and faces they see and draw lines of symmetry in them. In this symmetry lesson plan, students also draw one half of another student's face.
Curated OER
Geometry and Rubik's Cube
Young scholars explore geometry using a Rubik's Cube. For this 2-D and 3-D shapes lesson, students use the Rubik's Cube to find the center, edge and corner pieces. Young scholars then find the dimensions of the Rubik's Cube and read the...
Curated OER
Making Germ Monsters
Students explore germs. In this literacy and health lesson, students listen to the book Germs! Germs! Germs! by Bobbi Katz and discuss methods that prevent the spreading of germs. Students cut symmetrical shapes out of construction paper...
Curated OER
Symmetry and Tangrams
Sixth graders build figures out of tangrams. For this symmetry lesson, 6th graders view tangrams and identify the polygons included in them. Students divide into groups, identify their tangram pieces, define the lines of symmetry, and...
