Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

In this glide reflection worksheet, students draw and answer questions about reflections of different shapes. Students answer 5 questions.

In this symmetry instructional activity, learners view and draw border patterns and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 3 activities.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

In this frieze pattern worksheet, students draw frieze patterns that can be constructed from a given motif. They perform translations, glide reflections, horizontal and vertical reflections and 180 degree rotations. This one-page...

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

This is a site from the Math Forum that gives visual examples to show the differences between the four different kinds of symmetry. Examples are given along with links to additional information.

This University of Regina site gives some history and definitions about translations and symmetry.

Shows the different kinds of isometries and patterns, and gives examples of each kind. Includes definitions, terminology, examples, and problems.
