Mirror Symmetry/Mirror Images
Students 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. Students reproduce lines of...
Curated OER
Symmetry Monsters
Students discuss and study the word symmetry. They examine letters of the alphabet, shapes, and artwork and decide if they are symmetrical or not. Then they create their own symmetry monsters.
Curated OER
Creating and Destroying Symmetry
Students study the types of symmetry that appear in different basketball symbols. They point out changes that rotate symmetry from one type to another.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
First graders create symmetrical designs using a computer program. In this lines of symmetry lesson, 1st graders review their symmetrical designs and discuss other ways symmetrical designs can be made. Students work in pairs...
Curated OER
Symmetry
Students explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of symmetry and...
Curated OER
Symmetry Self-Assessment
Students draw symmetrical shapes. In this symmetry lesson, students complete a self assessment worksheet. Students draw shapes that have lines of symmetry. They then check for rotational symmetry and show the relationship between lines...
