Practice symmetry and patterns with this Mid-Eastern art project. Your class will create beautiful, reflective mosaics that will brighten up the classroom! A list of necessary materials is included.

Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part lesson creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet research, and...

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...

Students examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

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...

Show your class one way in which art and math are related by teaching them about M.C. Escher. Class members read a brief passage and then respond to five related questions.

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...

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...

Students recognize and measure geometric shapes within abstract art. They examine quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometry and measurement.

Students examine mathematical symbols and formulas included in works of art. They analyze quilts for shapes and they each make their own quilt from squares using geometric shapes.

For this mirror images worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which mirror image patterns are identified and mirror images of geometric figures are drawn. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.

Sixth graders observe the wardrobe and discuss the role of the wardrobe in the culture of viceregal Mexico. They research the design and the influence of Moorish decoration in the geometric pattern on the door. Students identify...

Students examine the principle of radial symmetry and apply it to an original mandala design. They draw a design using organic and geometric shapes, repeating the design symmetrically around the paper.

Pupils make a ladybug art item using math vocabulary and measurements of circles. Ladybugs are made using a compass. Once the bug is complete, attach a previously-written Haiku to it.

Students explore landforms and landscapes. They demonstrate an appreciation for and examine how to recognize the attributes of landforms and landscapes. Students create a landscape and reflect on their painting.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

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...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.
