Based on building a hexagon, this activity from the Math Forum collection focuses on using different combinations of pattern blocks to create a hexagon. An online activity, pencil and paper method, literature connections, and a...

This lesson focuses on symmetry groups; some shapes have more than one symmetry. You can add two symmetries to form a new one. It provides examples and practice exercises including a "symmetry calculator."

Looks at the lines of symmetry in different types of polygons. Includes ten practice questions. Each question is accompanied by an explanation of the answer.

In this instructional activity, students observe symmetry, geometric shapes, and angles in two Early American dances, and then choreograph their own dance with symmetrical figures. Media and teaching materials are included.

[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.
