Drawing Lines of Symmetry
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.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Students identify the different symmetry in polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify line, rotational and point symmetry in different objects. They find the symmetry with 90% accuracy.

Seven Circles II
Your learners find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can that are symmetries of the configuration of circles. Rigid transformations of the plane are explored and become more concrete to them as they visualize and execute...
Curated OER
Geometric Collages
Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...
