Analyze various shapes according to their reflective and rotational symmetries. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and take an assessment on identifying and counting lines of symmetry in various shapes.

[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.] Students watch a video to determine if given shapes have rotational symmetry and then take an assessment to test their skills.

Students use pattern shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and...
