Curated OER
Science and Math Lab (Students Look at Symmetry in Nature)
Students study patterns. In this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Ruler and Compass Constructions
Fourth and fifth graders examine how to construct perpendicular lines and to bisect angles using rulers and compasses in this unit of lessons. They design a number of polygons using these methods.
Curated OER
Fold and Cut
Second graders explore line symmetry and the names and attributes of two-dimensional mathematical shapes. They study the context by folding and cutting out shapes to make a series of mathematical shapes.
