Fourth graders engage in a lesson which integrates the study of the Underground Railroad in Indiana with a Language Arts unit on quilts. They write a book report on one of the quilt books read in class and design a quilt block for the...

Students study the basic artistic styles of suspension bridges. They follow step-by-step instructions to draw a suspension bridge. Students discover volcabulary related to the architecture of bridges. They examine websites of bridges.

Fourth graders explore history of Underground Railroad in Indiana and discover how slaves were assisted on their journey using codes displayed in different quilt blocks. Students examine connection quilts have to ancestry and family...

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...

In this graphing quadratic functions worksheet, learners create a function table and graph quadratic functions. This four-page worksheet contains 33 problems. A graph is supplied with each function. One example is provided at the...

Eleventh graders explore quadratic equations.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders use Geometer’s Sketchpad to explore the properties of quadratics and the connections with polynomials and linear equations.  The lesson is...

Students explore the architecture of New England by identifying geometric shapes.  In this architectural lesson, students examine photographs of classic building architecture and use a transparency to trace geometric shapes they...

Ninth graders discuss the different forms of equations. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders talk about the pros and cons of algebraic equations. They discuss reflection across the x and y axis and write out the equation of the given...

Young scholars create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. In this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

This site provides an excellent way to learn about line symmetry. It gives samples of questions that you can answer and self-check.

Definitions are provided line of symmetry, line symmetry, and plane symmetry, and several nice examples are provided that illustrate these definitions.

This site from The Math Forum is a great site if you are looking for activities to engage your students in learning about line symmetry. Peruse this collection of activities for one or two or four that would be right for your students....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Distinguish between line symmetry and rotational symmetry

The purpose of this task is for students to identify figures that have line symmetry and draw appropriate lines of symmetry. Aligns with 4.G.A.3.

This site takes a look at symmetry, with a special focus on line symmetry. Here you will find a definition, as well as several examples and real-world applications.

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click...

Practice identifying lines of symmetry on shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
