Investigate the attributes of polygons. A thorough set of lessons presents problem scenarios for elementary through high school classes. The first lessons focus on basic characteristics of polygons, including the line of symmetry. As the...

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...

Students are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

Students practice how to draw a line of symmetry inside a shape. In this symmetry lesson plan, students record the sides, lines of symmetry, and order of rotational symmetry for different shapes.

Have scholars show what they know with a 20-page assessment aligned to the California State Standards. The test covers concepts such as large and whole numbers, all four mathematical operations, fractions, decimals, geometric figures,...

Learners take pictures of shapes and faces they see and draw lines of symmetry in them. In this symmetry lesson plan, students also draw one half of another student's face.

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson plan, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of 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.

In this symmetry learning exercise, students circle the shape if it has lines of symmetry and draw in the lines of symmetry. Students finish with one test prep questions finding the shape that has a correctly drawn line of 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.

In this online interactive letter symmetry worksheet, students enter up to 5 words of their choice in the space provided and click generate to find the lines of symmetry in each of the words.

For this symmetry worksheet, students read about art in Southern Africa, daw art of their own, and draw lines of symmetry through the art. Students draw 3 lines of symmetry.

Fourth graders identify line symmetry. In this geometry lesson plan, 4th graders are given various pictures and identify if they are symmetrical. Students search through magazines for symmetrical pictures.

In this line symmetry practice instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

For this symmetry worksheet, students fill in the shapes with pattern blocks to create a design so the dotted line is one of symmetry. Students trace and label each pattern and then explain how they know the design has a line of symmetry.

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

In this math worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick math sheet to review solving for a number that is missing in a number sentence. Then, they identify which drawing best represents a line of symmetry. Finally, students calculate how...

In 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.

Young scholars 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.

In this symmetry worksheet, students study the pictures in the 14 examples. Students then draw a line of symmetry for each object.

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

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...

Make sure your class stays up with the times using this series of math newsletters. Including word problems that cover topics ranging from consumer math and symmetry to graphing and probability, these worksheets are a...

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....
