Backwards Writing: Reflections and Symmetry
Why is "ambulance" written backwards on emergency vehicles? Young geometers apply principles of symmetry to translate words written backwards. See if your school or district subscribes to Jobland, where you can view a clip that explains...

Flipping Butterflies: Triadic Colors and Symmetry
Second graders create symmetrical butterfly wings. In this symmetry lesson, 2nd graders observe butterfly wings and create their own. They make both sides symmetrical and mix primary colors to make secondary colors.

Using Symmetry to Create a Community Quilt
Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Line Symmetry- Reteaching Worksheet
In this line symmetry reteaching worksheet, 4th graders determine which letters of the alphabet display a line of symmetry. They compare to lines drawn through 4 letters and circle the one that shows symmetry. They draw one or two lines...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they classify each figure illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither line of symmetry. Then,...

Symmetrical Geometry Paintings
Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...
Curated OER
Triangles
In this math worksheet, students answer 3 questions about an equilateral triangle. Students then answer 3 questions about isosceles triangles. Students then calculate missing angles on isosceles triangles.
Curated OER
Symmetry
In this symmetry worksheet, 2nd graders pick which picture out of 3 pictures has symmetry. Students complete 2 problems and draw the line of symmetry on the picture.

Lines of Symmetry
Second graders, in order to recognize symmetrical objects, cut a symmetrical object of their choosing out of construction paper and proceed with the step by step instructions from the teacher. After working on worksheet problems, they...
Curated OER
Are We the Same?
Students define and discuss symmetry, line of symmetry, and congruency. They cut shapes out of construction paper, identify the line of symmetry, and if they are symmetrical and/or congruent.
Curated OER
Pattern Matching
First graders examine how to determine the lines of symmetry in pictures, shapes, and patterns by completing the lessons in this unit. They make patterns that show a line of symmetry and describe it using their own language.
