Fifth graders demonstrate different types of lines using movement. In this line and movement lesson, 5th graders demonstrate parallel and perpendicular lines, and lines of symmetry using dance movement. They also demonstrate rhombus...

Explore how lines of symmetry help define different categories of quadrilaterals. Looking at a square, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram, young mathematicians discover that each shape has its own, unique symmetry. Encourage your...

Can you find the line of symmetry? That's what your students will demonstrate by completing this worksheet. The task gets increasingly difficult as shapes are included that have one line of symmetry, no lines of symmetry, and multiple...

Fifth graders analyze how to divide space or shape into mirror sections to create lines of symmetry. For this lines of symmetry lesson, 5th graders discuss symmetry in dance, math, and living. Students participate in a dance warm-up and...

Students practice dance to divide the space or body shape into equal sections to create symmetry in dance. For this symmetry lesson, students practice symmetrical and asymmetrical movements in dance. Students participate in move and...

What can symmetry tell us about triangles? After looking at four examples, learners will come to realize that lines of symmetry are different for equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. Use this guided practice activity as an...

First graders create symmetrical designs using a computer program.  In this lines of symmetry lesson plan, 1st graders review their symmetrical designs and discuss other ways symmetrical designs can be made.  Students work in...

Fifth graders review the concept of a line of symmetry by using pieces of paper that have pictures such as, letters of the alphabet, polygons, and designs made from polygons in order to determine if they have symmetry. The fine,...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

Learners study facial symmetry. They explore lines of symmetry, and create illustrations with multiple lines of symmetry.

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of cookie dough and...

Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding and...

Students calculate the lines of symmetry using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare and estimate using collected data. They identify different attributes to the polygons based on their sides.

Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry lesson, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by finding the line of...

Learners explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Learners reproduce lines of...

Fifth graders investigate the symmetry of pattern block shapes. Students, working in groups determine whether each shape has line symmetry, rotational symmetry or both kinds of symmetry. Students determine how many lines of symmetry the...

It's frog party time! With frog banners, frog juice, and a triangle hunt, your garden party is sure to be both entertaining and educational. The lesson connects geometry, earth science, and delicious snacks to teach kids about ecosystems...

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

Students explore symmetrical design and lines of symmetry.  In this fourth grade geometry lesson, students create their own symmetrical design and identify and label the lines of symmetry.  Students use one design to create a...

Students build sled kites. in this kite building lesson, students must read directions for kite building and enlarge the proportions of the given kite pattern. Students focus on the angles and line of symmetry in their kite. 

Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Use the alphabet as a tool for teaching your class about geometric figures. Break apart capital letters into line segments and arcs. Classify angles as right, acute, or obtuse. Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. An excellent...

Pupils explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry instructional activity, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Pupils explore symmetry in real life objects.
