Fifth graders demonstrate different types of lines using movement. In this line and movement instructional activity, 5th graders demonstrate parallel and perpendicular lines, and lines of symmetry using dance movement. They also...

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...

Learners practice dance to divide the space or body shape into equal sections to create symmetry in dance. In this symmetry lesson, students practice symmetrical and asymmetrical movements in dance. Learners participate in move and...

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...

These monsters are only half-drawn! Challenge scholars to observe the line of symmetry and draw in the other half to reflect the first half. There are six simple monsters in all, and scholars can color them in once finished (encourage...

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.

In this problem solving worksheet, 4th graders figure out how many lines of symmetry 6 Greek alphabet letters have. Students write each number and draw the line or lines on the lines provided.

Young scholars explore lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Young scholars explore symmetry in real life objects.

A strong PowerPoint provides several examples of lines of symmetry found in nature. Each slide shows a different picture and asks the question, "Where are the lines of symmetry?" This resource would be good for reinforcing the concept of...

Learners explore radial symmetry.  In this 3 dimensional art and geometry lesson, students identify examples of radial symmetry in everyday objects. Learners create an imprint using radial symmetry on clay tiles.

Who knew you could paint with glue? After first adding liquid water color paints to bottles of white Elmer's glue and applying them to paper, students of all ages are then challenged to use their imagination and...

Students follow directions in the ABC of Symmetry to make a butterfly which shows a line of symmetry.

Have your class explore symmetry, radial balance and fractional parts in natural and man-made objects in their environment. Learners list examples and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical designs. Pupils are given a box of crayons and...

Reinforce a strong art vocabulary which can also apply to aspects of math and science. Kids read about various types of balance or symmetry found in art. They analyze three paintings based on vocabulary and read a how-to for creating...

Learners explore the symmetry and balance in the composition of a variety of art works and note how the viewer's eye is guided to the important components of the image. How these elements affect the tone of the painting and communicate...

In this recognizing line of symmetry learning exercise, students observe a half drawing of a car on graph paper and complete the drawing of the symmetrical shape. Students draw 1 object.

Students analyze the art for the Young Countess of Schouvalof and also practice recognizing the work of Le Brun, Leonardo da Vinci, and Andy Warhol. In this portrait art lesson, students analyze copies of the artists work and mark on the...

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.

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.  

Students examine the concept of symmetry in Lao art and apply it to their own works. They construct full-face masks by copying the stencils onto colored paper. Students apply creative touches by painting and drawing on their assembled...

Play around with symmetry with this worksheet! Learners examine an image of half of a bug drawn on grid paper and complete the drawing, making the image symmetrical. The bug contains curved lines as well as patterns to copy over to the...

In this symmetry learning exercise, students read about art in Southern Africa, daw art of their own, and draw lines of symmetry through the art. Students draw 3 lines of symmetry.

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