Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

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...

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 explore symmetry.  Students observe a variety of bug and plant drawings, then draw a bug jar. Students observe bugs from the top of the jar for a symmetrical view, and the side of the jar for an asymmetrical view. ...

Students create reflections over two lines. In this reflections worksheet, students compare and contrast reflections over parallel and intersecting lines. They dilate figures and investigate the effect of the dilation using measurement...

Young scholars explore, examine and study the symmetry of the flags of individual countries in the EU. They identify and describe the reflection and rotation symmetries of two-dimensional shapes and assess how symmetry changes with...

For this mirror lines and symmetry worksheet, 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.

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Students investigate the properties of lines and congruent triangle theorems as well as apply geometric properties and relationships to real-world mathematical problems. Given two different scenarios, they examine maps that have been...

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Middle schoolers cut an index card to create three similar right triangles and explore the congruencies and proportions that exist. They investigate the properties of lines and concepts of congruency, similarity, tangency and symmetry of...

Your learners collaboratively find the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle using rigid transformations and symmetry. Through congruence proofs they show that they understand congruence in terms of rigid motions as they...

Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson should fit...

Where did conic sections get their name? The equation and graph of a parabola are developed from the definition of the conic section. Teacher examples on graphing the equation and writing an equation from the graph round out the plan.

Students examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Learners create a Tree of Life. In this visual art lesson, students explore mandalas. Learners investigate the concepts of balance and symmetry while designing their own unique Tree of Life.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Fourth graders, using KidPix, use stamps and pencil tools to illustrate which pictures have symmetry. They add text boxes to explain their answers in math terms. Students practice skills in rotation, reflection, and translation on an...

Second graders examine various types of butterflies and insects around their school. They identify differences between beetles and butterflies. Students examine books about butterflies, complete symmetry drawings, and make ladybug key...
