This lesson focuses on symmetry groups; some shapes have more than one symmetry. You can add two symmetries to form a new one. It provides examples and practice exercises including a "symmetry calculator."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students how to determine whether or not a shape has reflection symmetry and how to draw lines of symmetry.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Provides a brief overview of the different types of symmetry and of how to tessellate a shape.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video to determine if given shapes have rotational symmetry and then take an assessment to test their skills.

Students use pattern shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and...

Investigate the concept of symmetry at this test prep site. See detailed definitions and picture examples, answer the questions in the interactive practice pages, and do the classroom activity where students use a digital camera to...

Based on building a hexagon, this activity from the Math Forum collection focuses on using different combinations of pattern blocks to create a hexagon. An online activity, pencil and paper method, literature connections, and a...

[Free Registration/Login Required] With this flipchart students will learn how to classify two-dimensional shapes and discuss the attributes of polygons.

An excellent compilation of activities that engage parents and children in math explorations at home. Detailed lessons covering a wide range of math topics such as fractions, measurements, money, data collection, and math in newspapers....

These lessons are designed to guide young children through an introduction to geometry. Children learn to recognize shapes and to create patterns, and explore spatial relations and symmetry. Each activity is aligned to mandated standards.

This is a good site for elementary teachers to help educate students about symmetry by using pattern blocks. This link has multiple activities that the instructor could use including technological and standard activities.

Copy a quilt block made of 16 squares. Each block will have one of the four symmetry types: H, M, B, or S and you choose which you think it is.

If art and math are both passions of yours, this project is meant for you! Spidrons are geometric forms made from alternating sequences of equilateral and isosceles (30 degrees, 30 degrees, 120 degrees) triangles. Spidrons were...

On this one page interactive website expand your logic, Motion Geometry and pattern recognition knowledge while working on this challenge. The solution is available to double check your solution.

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Learners are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

Do you need practice remembering or learning different geometry vocabulary words and definitions? The flash cards at this web site are for you! There is a link to a list of terms with definitions you can click if you want to see if you...

Archaeologists have just uncovered an ancient plate. They need your help to determine the original size of the plate. Try this challenge where you use concepts of symmetry and estimation to uncover the solution. An activity from the NCTM...

Practice identifying symmetrical shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
