Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Learners develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

Learners identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

First graders engage in a lesson which teaches the concept of symmetry through the use of letters in the student's name. They use a piece of yarn to see if they can make symmetrical pieces out of their own names.

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.
