Second graders create symmetrical butterfly wings. In this symmetry instructional activity, 2nd graders observe butterfly wings and create their own. They make both sides symmetrical and mix primary colors to make secondary colors. 

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

Students explore geometry by creating a quilt square. In this symmetry lesson, students identify a list of items, designs, insects and animals which have either rotational or line symmetry. Students investigate symmetrical designs on the...

This extensive and far-reaching collection of worksheets puts a new twist on many basic concepts. Learners use multiplication to trace a path from one point to another, tile a plane by converting between improper and proper fractions,...

Second graders explain and apply the visual arts elements and the design principle of symmetry and apply media, techniques, and processes. In addition, they describe how different materials, techniques, and processes cause different...

For this angles worksheet, students calculate the size of angles, draw lines of symmetry, and form quadrilaterals in four exercise sets.  The solutions are provided.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concepts of architectural rigidity. They analyze a variety of polygons, and explain why some shapes add more strength to structures than others. The PBS video, "Building Big," is utilized in this plan.

Here is a clever, cross-curricular lesson that combines art and geometry. Learners design a painting that uses geometrical shapes and is symmetrical. Sponge-shaped geometrical figures are used to design half a page and fold them to...

Students identify symmetry in shapes. In this geometry lesson, students fold paper to identify lines of symmetry. Students create various symmetrical shapes using folded paper.

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the lesson,...

Learners investigate the symmetries of a convex quadrilateral in a collaborative activity. Rigid motion and complements are explored as learners analyze different cases of reflections across a line.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

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.

In this geometry worksheet, students draw 6 different shapes as requested by 6 specific directives in the circles provided. Students draw 2D and 3D shapes.

Third graders understand what a line of symmetry is and how to draw symmetrically. In this monster symmetry lesson, 3rd graders create an original monster that is symmetrical. Students participate in additional symmetry activities.

Students create handcrafted paper Hawaiian quilt squares. They do this to show the concept of symmetry across two lines of reflection.

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry instructional activity, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic...

Symmetry is a term found in art, math, and science, prep your students to encounter symmetry from any angle. This presentation provides several simple examples of shapes that do and do not have a line of symmetry.

Students analyze lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry in designs. They practice dividing a shape along its line(s) of symmetry and discuss the relationship between lines of symmetry and number of sides as well as rotations.

Second graders explore geometry by experimenting with fold-ables. In this geometric shapes lesson plan, 2nd graders utilize cutout shapes from construction paper which they experiment with by folding. Students examine the symmetry and...

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...
