Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of symmetry. Provided with images of different shapes, letters, and national flags, students are tasked with identifying the lines of symmetry and order of rotational symmetry...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

Eleven problems provide pupils the opportunity to find the lines of symmetry or identify rotational symmetry. Scholars alter designs to make them symmetrical, learn to recognize signs that are symmetrical, and identify the type of...

Students practice how to draw a line of symmetry inside a shape. In this symmetry lesson plan, students record the sides, lines of symmetry, and order of rotational symmetry for different shapes.

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

This resource provides 5 different worksheets on the topic of polygons and symmetry. These worksheets cover rotational symmetry, lines of symmetry, symmetry of regular polygons, special quadiralaterals, and polygon transformation. The...

Learners examine the properties of quadrilaterals from the point of view of rigid motion. Different types of quadrilaterals are characterized by their symmetries, so learners explore the symmetries of a described quadrilateral to...

Students study the types of symmetry that appear in different basketball symbols. They point out changes that rotate symmetry from one type to another.

A variety of activities take scholars outside the classroom to explore shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, sorting, and time in nature. Learners participate individually, and in teams, to measure found objects, go on a...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Learners explore mapping a rectangle onto itself using rigid motion concepts, geometric intuition and experimenting with manipulatives in a collaborative task.

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

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.

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. With a total of forty-eight cards, each are printed in bold font, and include definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include absolute value, ordered...

For this symmetry worksheet, students use the alphabet to determine how many letters have a mirror plane, rotational axis, or an inversion center. Students determine the symmetry elements and the point group for different chemical...

In this transformations worksheet, learners solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  Learners determine scale factors and lines of symmetry of figures.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Your learners find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can that are symmetries of the configuration of circles. Rigid transformations of the plane are explored and become more concrete to them as they visualize and execute...

Given the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle, your learners find where the pre-image vertices are mapped onto the new image. They explore the properties of equilateral triangles, the impact of reflections, and the...

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.

A definition and several examples of rotational symmetry. View two animations showing types of rotational symmetry, as well as real-life examples, including a dartboard and Ferris wheel.

This website contains a basic explanation of what rotational symmetry and rotational symmetry order is. Some practice problem identifying rotational symmetry order are also given.

Find out about the ways to name rotation symmetry: order, fraction of a turn, and angle.

This lesson focuses on symmetry including reflectional symmetry, rotational symmetry, and palindromes. It defines each, gives examples, and practice activities.
