Learners engage in a lesson that is about finding the vertex of a parabola while using symmetry. They use the symmetry to find out where the two lines meet. The line is displayed with the help of a graphing calculator. The lesson...

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

In this graphing quadratic equations worksheet, students find the vertex and graph the parabola for 24 quadratic equations. The final four are factored into binomials to increase accuracy of the x intercepts.

Starting with the basics, learners discover the features of a parabola and the ways to accurately graph it. After pupils practice with graphing, the end of the worksheet focuses on application type problems. 

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Pupils examine the concept of symmetry by studying the symmetry of symbols in a wall painting and creating journals with a symmetrical design. After a class review of symmetry and identifying the line of symmetry in several objects in...

Students examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.

In this math worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick math sheet to review solving for a number that is missing in a number sentence. Then, they identify which drawing best represents a line of symmetry. Finally, students calculate how...

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Students identify the different symmetry in polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify line, rotational and point symmetry in different objects. They find the symmetry with 90% accuracy.

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...

Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

Fifth graders create a radially balanced design using geometric shapes which exhibits their prior knowledge of symmetry. They use a kaleidoscope image to develop a design using markers or colored pencils.

In this parabolas learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different problems related to parabolas. First, they define parabola and its information related to graphing one. Then, students write each equation in standard...

In this symmetry worksheet, students reflect a series of figures over given lines and rotate figures around given points as indicated.

Students discover that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. They are shown how a triangle is formed using three strips such as that the triangle is seen inside the strips.

In this polygons instructional activity, students read about and complete many activities involving triangles, angles, and symmetry. Students complete 17 pages of activities.

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

Ninth graders discuss the different forms of equations. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders talk about the pros and cons of algebraic equations. They discuss reflection across the x and y axis and write out the equation of the given...

In this symmetry worksheet, students analyze a picture of a hexagon folded into sixths with black parts to be cut out. Students draw what the snowflake will look like when it is unfolded.
