In this reflections and symmetry instructional activity, learners draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson plan gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

In this transformations worksheet, learners solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  Learners determine scale factors and lines of symmetry of figures.

In this frieze pattern worksheet, students draw frieze patterns that can be constructed from a given motif. They perform translations, glide reflections, horizontal and vertical reflections and 180 degree rotations. This one-page...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Students examine the concepts of geometry used by Paul Goble in his book Adopted By The Eagles. After analyzing Mr. Goble's work they create an original piece featuring symmetry, pattern, repetition, and other principles of geometry....

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

In this symmetry worksheet, students reflect a series of figures over given lines and rotate figures around given points as indicated.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

Pupils explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Pupils use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry on...

Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...

Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry while reviewing...

Learners explore mapping a rectangle onto itself using rigid motion concepts, geometric intuition and experimenting with manipulatives in a collaborative task.

Learners develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

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

Fourth graders examine about traditional quilting patterns, the symmetry in such patterns, and practice creating patterns of their own. They design a quilting pattern, and groups make colorful "patches," of a pattern. They assemble the...

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. ...

Students build a castle to Ravi's design using the cubes. Students then make an original model of a solid object from diagrams which show views from the top, front, side and back. Students describe the reflection of rotational symmetry...

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding symmetry. Students may view the correct answers.

In this vocabulary worksheet, students match the vocabulary word to its proper definition. They identify words such as symmetry, scale factor, coordinate plane, rotation, reflection, and translation.

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

Mathematicians utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. They visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used...

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...
