Students explore the interplay between the geometric and analytic information and on the use of calculus both to predict and to explain the observed local and global behavior of a function. They write a paragraph describing any...

Young scholars discover how abolute value affects linear functions. They complete a worksheet simulating a path for miniature golf hole in one for three figures. They construct a hole in one graph for each hole marking the X and Y...

In this lesson, students will create a colored pencil drawing utilizing symmetry and forms characteristic of Northwest Coast art and write a critique of their work. Media resources and teacher materials are included.

This site, part of a planned Geometry textbook, involves real-world applications with symmetry and reflection using pictures and graphs.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students how to determine whether or not a shape has reflection symmetry and how to draw lines of symmetry.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Find a figure's lines of symmetry.

This lesson focuses on symmetry including reflectional symmetry, rotational symmetry, and palindromes. It defines each, gives examples, and practice activities.

This is an activity site to learn more about reflective symmetry. In order to complete this activity you will need a mirror.

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

This presentation provides a tutorial on symmetry. In the tutorial, you will do the following: learn about geometric symmetry, explore line or reflection symmetry, explore rotation symmetry, and explore translation symmetry and frieze...

Teachers, here's a great resource for worksheets and presentations about symmetry. Includes PowerPoint and smartboard presentations.

This site from The Math Forum is a great site if you are looking for activities to engage your students in learning about line symmetry. Peruse this collection of activities for one or two or four that would be right for your students....

This site takes a look at symmetry, with a special focus on line symmetry. Here you will find a definition, as well as several examples and real-world applications.

This site defines reflection, separates reflection into two categories of amphichiral and chiral. The site also gives formulas used in reflective symmetry including point-plane distance, position of reflected points and has links to...

Teachers can download this teaching package that looks at light and symmetry through the use of mirrors. Students will enjoy the nine mirror challenges, along with the hands-on activities described in the lessons. Teachers will...

Explains symmetry about a line, using animations to illustrate the "rotation" or "reflection" involved in this type of symmetry.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Provides a brief overview of the different types of symmetry and of how to tessellate a shape.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify line, bilateral, and rotational symmetry.

Analyze various shapes according to their reflective and rotational symmetries.

This website will provide you with a quick review of line or reflective symmetry. It also has questions and answers to help you understand line/reflective symmetry.

Students learn about symmetry. Topics explored are reflection, rotational, and point symmetry. Examples and definitions are included.

Defines symmetry, line of symmetry, point symmetry, and gives examples.

An introduction to the various types of symmetries that can occur in the graphs of functions. Uses vertical, horizontal, and oblique reflections as a means of recognizing symmetries.

Provides real world examples of symmetry in architecture, including pictures of each kind of symmetry, examples, acknowledgements, and a bibliography.
