Third graders demonstrate their mathematical knowledge of symmetry and reflection using congruent geometric shapes while working as an artist and mathematician looking at a medieval-styled stained glass window.

Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Students examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Students create a tapestry based on the Chariot of Triumph tapestry. In this visual arts lesson, students examine images of the original tapestry, determine the meaning of symmetry, and discuss symbolism in this art form. They draw an...

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

Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.

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

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

Young scholars explore composition and symmetry to create their own digital media piece. In this design composition lesson, students visit the online websites and examples of asymmetrical compositions and symmetry. Young scholars sketch...

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the relationship...

Students explore symmetry.  Students observe a variety of bug and plant drawings, then draw a bug jar. Students observe bugs from the top of the jar for a symmetrical view, and the side of the jar for an asymmetrical view. ...

Students use St. Patrick's Day activities to explore symmetry and words. In this lesson about St. Patrick's Day, students experience the Irish culture by learning about the Irish shamrock, and learning some Irish words. Students create...

Build fine motor, spatial, and drawing skills by having the class complete the other half of a portrait. They choose an image of a face from a magazine, then attempt to draw the other half of the face as accurately as they can. Two book...

Third graders explore the concept of symmetry using geometric shapes, capital letters and various other shapes. They fold shapes to show symmetry, draw lines of symmetry and create symmetrical designs.

Students explore, examine and study the symmetry of the flags of individual countries in the EU. They identify and describe the reflection and rotation symmetries of two-dimensional shapes and assess how symmetry changes with respect to...

Students create collages based on Juan Quick-to-See Smith's "Ode to Chief Seattle." For this shapes, symbols and Native American lesson, students examine the "Ode to Chief Seattle" and Henri Matisse's cutout work. Students design their...

Students examine how the hexagon shape can be a building block for quilt patterns. They view images of quilts, discuss symmetry and design patterns, and create and name an original quilt design.

Students study strip patterns and identify symmetry. They create a paper doll chain. They experiment with different shapes. They determine if their chain is a strip pattern. They create snowflakes with triangles.

An unusually challenging Jeopardy-style game is here for your charges. All sorts of high-level algebraic terminology, concepts, and problem solving are embedded in the game. There is even a Final Jeopardy clue. I have found these...

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

For this congruence statements worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they complete each congruence statement listed. Then, students graph each set of points on the coordinate plane provided. They...

Students compare and contrast the difference in the two sets of images and discuss the visual interest in the first set and the different visual interest created in the second set of prints.

Learners explore color, shape, line, balance, radial symmetry, unity, repetition, and pattern as they make a peace quilt inspired by those made by Hawaiian women in the 1800s. After learning a bit about the history or peace quilts, the...

Students use tools in a painting package to design tiles and create repeating patterns. They design a single tile using a 4 x 4 grid and experiment with changing the alignment of some of the tiles by rotating different areas.
