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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
