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

In this reflection worksheet, students reflect the shapes in the mirror lines and draw them on the other side. They complete 2 drawings. The answers are on the last page.

For this mirror images worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which mirror image patterns are identified and mirror images of geometric figures are drawn. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Practice symmetry and patterns with this Mid-Eastern art project. Your class will create beautiful, reflective mosaics that will brighten up the classroom! A list of necessary materials is included.

Second graders create and act out mirror images of their partners and the movements they make. They focus on spatial awareness skills associated with this activity, including exercising in large and small movements. Students observe...

Students analyze a symmetrical stamp design with an equal balance of light and dark to create a pattern in succession. In this shape design lesson, students review concepts of sign, symbol and language across cultures. Students analyze...

Students create a mirror/mirror frame using glass mosaic tiles, grout, and various other mosaic supplies.

In this painting activity, students fold a card in half and following the instructions, paint a tree and its mirror image. There are no visual clues on the page; students read each step to follow. This page is from Northern Ireland.

Students explore energy by creating a light project in class. In this kaleidoscope lesson plan, students discuss the properties of light and how mirrors can reflect the energy in different directions. Students view a diagram of light...

Pupils utilize their observational skills. They explore body movements and facial clues of their partner and imitate them. Students practice and perform in front of the class. They write a story with a mirror as a major feature.

Students practice mirroring human moves by performing a dance in class.  In this physical education instructional activity, students utilize different spaces around them to perform a dance expressing their full motion....

Eighth graders create a kaleidoscope drawing. They show the basic art rules (shading, highlighting, coloring, etc.) They increase their design and drawing skills, improve hand eye coordination and develop an understanding of mirror images.

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

Learners examine and analyze works of art by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. They create journals that follow the form and content of Kahlo's diary, and murals in the spirit of Rivera.

Students explore print making. In this art and print making instructional activity, students listen to biographical information about Leonardo da Vinci, then define "mirror image" as a technique used by this artist. Students cut out...

Students explore finger painting and painting with feathers and recreate the look of objects in nature. They read the book, 'It Looked Like Spilt Milk,' create a shaving cream print, paint with feathers, and construct a mirror image on...

Students study printmaking, using mirror images, and positive and negative images. They examine how and why print images and text are used. They use a linoleum blocks to make prints.

Students examine how the Japanese peasant was depicted in art in this high school lesson plan about Asian cultures. Emphasis is placed on individual observations and written reflections.

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...

Seventh graders investigate 2-D and 3-D objects. For this geometry lesson, 7th graders begin to understand spatial reasoning. Students look at pictures of the NYC Skyline and discuss what it looks like from different views. Students use...

Fourth graders participate in hands-on activities to introduce them to the concept of symmetry. They make a silly symmetrical picture out of their names after gluing them onto a larger sheet of construction paper. This is a really...

Page through one of Leonardo's notebooks, in which he works out his observations about weights, measures, reflections, and similar material matters. Interesting examples of the master's characteristic "mirror writing" and of his...
