Curated OER
Fun With Symmetry
Students manipulate shapes to find multiple lines of symmetry. They use color to visualize the lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this line of symmetry worksheet, students follow a set of instructions to create a symmetrical shape, and color correct numbers of dominoes to make symmetrical sets. Answers are included.
Curated OER
Folding to Make Shapes
Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...
Curated OER
Symmetry, Part 2
How can you tell if shapes are symmetrical? Fourth graders study 12 shapes, and draw lines down the middle of shapes that have symmetry. Once they are finished, they complete shapes that are missing their symmetrical sides. Some shapes...

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...
Curated OER
Draw the Other Half
How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...
Curated OER
Reflections of Symmetry
Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.
Curated OER
Symmetry of the Southwest
Fourth graders examine mirror symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, 4th graders discover that symmetry is not always vertical or horizontal. Students cut and fold shapes along lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Exploring Symmetry
Students use a software program to create artwork and to manipulate images to study mirror and rotational symmetry. They take pictures of items in their environment in which they identify symmetry.
Curated OER
Symmetry in My World
Second graders demonstrate understanding of symmetry and identify objects that have symmetry. They use a mirror to get a visual illustration of what symmetry is. They create a collage of symmetrical pictures they find in magazines.
Curated OER
Reflective Symmetry and Translations
In this symmetry and translation learning exercise, students sketch the reflection of the shapes in the mirror lines. There are 6 shapes to sketch.
Curated OER
Reflective Symmetry And Translation
In this symmetry and translation worksheet, students sketch the reflection of the shapes in the mirror lines. There are 6 shapes to sketch.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry and...
Curated OER
Math Lesson: Rotational Symmetry
Students analyze lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in designs. They practice dividing a shape along its line(s) of symmetry and discuss the relationship between lines of symmetry and number of sides as well as rotations.
Curated OER
Shape and Space: Symmetry
Students discuss and work with lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students start with a warm up activity on metric conversion. They talk about the definition of symmetry and reflection before completing a worksheet.
Curated OER
Symmetry in Kaleidoscope Designs
Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.
Curated OER
Mirror Lines
In this mirror lines and symmetry learning exercise, students solve 12 problems in which lines of symmetry are drawn and counted. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.
Curated OER
Cutouts
Students identify symmetry in shapes. In this geometry lesson, students fold paper to identify lines of symmetry. Students create various symmetrical shapes using folded paper.
Curated OER
Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 3, Lesson 13: Reflections
Students use current knowledge to predict the meaning of line of symmetry. They explore symmetry using mirrors.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Third graders find symmetry in nature. In this symmetry lesson plan, 3rd graders discover that symmetry is in nature and our everyday world. Students examine the alphabet for symmetrical letters then create their own artwork showing...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
Fourth graders identify line symmetry. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders are given various pictures and identify if they are symmetrical. Students search through magazines for symmetrical pictures.

The Definition of a Parabola
Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
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...
