Identifying Lines of Symmetry and Creating Reflections over a Line
Fifth graders review the concept of a line of symmetry by using pieces of paper that have pictures such as, letters of the alphabet, polygons, and designs made from polygons in order to determine if they have symmetry. The fine,...

Using Symmetry to Create Corporate Logos
Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...

Symmetry
Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry lesson, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by finding the line of...

A World of Symmetry
Young scholars identify lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry. They answer questions about lines of symmetry. Young scholars cut shapes out of cookie...

Properties of Lines - Parallel and Perpendicular
Sixth graders identify parallel and perpendicular lines in the alphabet. In this line properties activity, 6th graders use the letters of the alphabet to show parallel and perpendicular lines. Students open a Geogrid Mat on the computer...
