Students explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Students measure the plane's angles using a...

Second graders demonstrate understanding of symmetry and identify objects that have symmetry. They use a mirror to get a visual illustration of what symmetry is. They create a collage of symmetrical pictures they find in magazines.

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

Students identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

In this geometry skills practice instructional activity, students examine 3 images and determine whether or not they have rotational symmetry.

A variety of activities take scholars outside the classroom to explore shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, sorting, and time in nature. Learners participate individually, and in teams, to measure found objects, go on a...

Elementary schoolers utilize a pattern worksheet embedded in this plan to work on a deeper understanding of geometric concepts like symmetry and congruency. Since geometry is such a visual form of mathematics, this lesson should fit...

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 explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture instructional activity, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students...

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...

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...

In this math worksheet, students cut out 6 shapes. Students fold the shapes to investigate their lines of symmetry and see if the shapes are symmetrical or not.

Stdents create symmetrical designs by cutting folded paper in this cross-curricular lesson for the Math and Art classsroom. The lesson is adaptable for any grade or ability level.

In this symmetry instructional activity, students look at 12 pictures. Students circle all the pictures that are symmetrical, and cross out all the ones that are not.

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Students identify the different symmetry in polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify line, rotational and point symmetry in different objects. They find the symmetry with 90% accuracy.

Students practice how to draw a line of symmetry inside a shape. In this symmetry lesson plan, students record the sides, lines of symmetry, and order of rotational symmetry for different shapes.

Fourth graders use polygons to create animal figures with symmetry. In this polygons and symmetry lesson, 4th graders create a symmetrical animal collage by cutting and gluing geometric shapes and figures from math activities.  

In this symmetry worksheet, students identify lines of symmetry in given polygons. They discover the correlation between the number of sides and the number of lines of symmetry. Students determine the lines of symmetry in irregular...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

Fifth graders create a radially balanced design using geometric shapes which exhibits their prior knowledge of symmetry. They use a kaleidoscope image to develop a design using markers or colored pencils.

In this symmetry worksheet, 7th graders identify and complete 12 different lines of symmetry in polygons. First, they color all of the polygons that have a line of symmetry. Then, students circle all of the regular polygons and use the...
