Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson plan and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Have your class use online activities to recognize the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They will listen to their teacher describe a mystery shape and try to guess it. Additionally they will watch clips online about a 2D shape...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Students examine and discuss the use of symmetry in a painting by the artist Roger Brown. They draw a geometric shape, divide it with a line of symmetry, and create a painting using the geometric shapes demonstrating symmetry.

Pupils examine the principle of radial symmetry and apply it to an original mandala design. They draw a design using organic and geometric shapes, repeating the design symmetrically around the paper.

Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Learners develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

Pupils examine the concept of symmetry by studying the symmetry of symbols in a wall painting and creating journals with a symmetrical design. After a class review of symmetry and identifying the line of symmetry in several objects in...

Learners identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

In this polynominoes worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 different problems relating to various types of polynominoes, such as triominoes and tetrominoes. First, they determine how many different types of triominoes they can locate and draw...

Second graders examine two-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. In this shapes lesson, 2nd graders identify similarities and differences by using cut out shapes, diagrams, mirrors, and graphic organizers.

Second graders make boats by folding paper. They identify and draw shapes made during the creating process and place lines of symmetry on them. They demonstrate their understanding by completing an activity sheet imbedded in this plan.

Young scholars explore, examine and study the symmetry of the flags of individual countries in the EU. They identify and describe the reflection and rotation symmetries of two-dimensional shapes and assess how symmetry changes with...

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

In this polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 27 various types of problems. First, they determine how many lines of symmetry a square has and if it is a parallelogram. Then, students find the number of lines of symmetry in...

Fifth graders view prints of M.C. Escher's work. They look at examples of geometric figures and polygons and discuss places they have seen them. Students create their own tessellations. They write a report about the process they used in...

Students listen to a read aloud of The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau finding examples of symmetry in the illustrations in the book.

Learners build polygons on their geoboards. In this geometry lesson plan, students build and then draw it on paper and label it. Learners then switch with a partner to try an make a symmetrical shape.

Seventh graders investigate some concepts associated with geometric shapes. They study the bisector segment and the perpendicular line to a given line. Students conduct analysis with the goal of deepening observation and deduction...
