Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various forms of line symmetry. They classify each line of symmetry illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither. Then students check the...

Students make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.

First graders, in groups, studying symmetry, compose collages and bulletin boards.

Students explore the concept of symmetry by drawing an the other half of an object. They pick from a stack of magazine pictures and draw it on another piece of paper.

Pupils create a butterfly displaying a mirror image of itself to show that it is symmetrical. In this symmetry lesson plan, students go over symmetry in different shapes and identify patterns in butterflies.

Learners use current knowledge to predict the meaning of line of symmetry. They explore symmetry using mirrors.

Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically. 

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Learners examine lines of symmetry with different shapes. Then students create their own books of symmetry with different two-dimensional shapes on each page.

Students examine the concept of symmetry. They use photographs in front of a mirror to see symmetry. They write an explanation or drawing of how a mirror always produces a line of symmetry.

Learners discover how to sketch a face. For this sketching lesson, students explore the steps to construct a facial drawing. Spacing and symmetry of facial features are explored.

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.

Pupils examine the concept of symmetry by studying the symmetry of symbols in a wall painting and creating journals with a symmetrical design. After a class review of symmetry and identifying the line of symmetry in several objects in...

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

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

Fourth graders participate in hands-on activities to introduce them to the concept of symmetry. They make a silly symmetrical picture out of their names after gluing them onto a larger sheet of construction paper. This is a really...

Students listen to a read aloud of The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau finding examples of symmetry in the illustrations in the book.

Students discover historical value and use of different African masks through research and literature. Students also relate different customs and traditions of ethnic groups to the masks.

Students define properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They identify and use the properties of solids to solve problems.

Students make jewelry using different shapes from magazines, tissue paper, cardboard, and other materials. In this making jewelry lesson plan, students complete this hands on activity to discuss how shapes are used.
