Lines of Symmetry
Fourth graders demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.
Curated OER
Shapes Are Everywhere
Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

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.

Recognizing Symmetry
In this symmetry activity, students determine whether given figures have symmetry, checking the correct one of a set. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Rotational Symmetry
In this symmetry instructional activity, learners analyze 4 pictures. Students determine if each picture has rotational symmetry and mark "yes" or "no". There is no definition for this term and no example.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this lines of symmetry worksheet, students check either yes or no to determine whether 3 pictures have rotational symmetry or not. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Snowflake Symmetry
In this symmetry worksheet, students analyze a picture of a hexagon folded into sixths with black parts to be cut out. Students draw what the snowflake will look like when it is unfolded.
Curated OER
Cut in Half
In this object halves worksheet, students circle the objects that are cut in half. Students then write how they can show half of a sheet of paper.
Curated OER
Pattern Block Symmetry
In 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.
Curated OER
Symmetry
In this symmetry in art worksheet, students circle the objects below that are examples of symmetry. Students then draw a line through the center of each image to show how the halves are symmetrical.
Curated OER
Symmetry
In this symmetry worksheet, students find examples of 3 different types of symmetry in their surroundings and draw them in the boxes provided. The types of symmetry are reflective symmetry, symmetry along a line and symmetry around a...
