High schoolers draw perpendicular bisectors.  In this perpendicular bisectors lesson, students identify the perpendicular bisector in a polygon.  They use web tools to create and measure perpendicular bisectors.  High...

Students examine lines of symmetry with different shapes. Then students create their own books of symmetry with different two-dimensional shapes on each page.

Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.

In this symmetry worksheet, students fill in the shapes with pattern blocks to create a design so the dotted line is one of symmetry. Students trace and label each pattern and then explain how they know the design has a line of symmetry.

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

In this first grade math review worksheet, 1st graders answer multiple choice questions about symmetry, money, measurement, time, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

For this life science worksheet, learners examine the 4 stages of the butterfly's life cycle and color in the black line pictures. They read the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical objects before they complete symmetrical...

The class thinks about symmetry and patterns. They view several symmetrical patterns represented as dots with a mirror in between. They discuss which images are symmetrical and which are not, then color in dots to complete a few...

In this graphing worksheet, pupils graph quadratic functions. They identify the maximum and minimum value of the function, determine the line of symmetry, and locate the vertex. Coordinate planes are provided for each function. There are...

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

Students examine the concept of symmetry. They use photographs in front of a mirror to see symmetry. They write an explanation or drawing of how a mirror always produces a line of symmetry.

In this symmetry learning exercise, students study the pictures in the 14 examples. Students then draw a line of symmetry for each object.

When you engage learners in creating symmetrical objects you are also building their vocabulary and math sense. Kids discuss key words such as, asymmetrical, symmetrical, balance, tint, and shade. They use these elements of design to...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

A set of 49 math vocabulary cards ranges from angle to irregular polygon to parallel lines. Each sheet contains two cards: one with the word printed in bold text and the other with the definition.

Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson should fit...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

This art lesson seems simple enough. As a way to introduce radial symmetry, spokes, or rays, learners create an artistic representation demonstrating radial symmetry. They stick a variety of letter stickers on their paper starting in the...

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

In this math instructional activity, students examine the shapes given in two dimensions. They determine which ones are symmetrical to each other.

Pupils make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.

Students observe butterfly images and then draw and paint their own design. They use this activity to explain symmetry.

First graders, in groups, studying symmetry, compose collages and bulletin boards.
