Symmetry that is Basic and Beautiful
Learners explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Learners explore symmetry in real life objects.
Curated OER
Science and Math Lab (Students Look at Symmetry in Nature)
Students study patterns. In this symmetry in nature instructional activity, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Learners create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Learners design and create their own tessellation.
