Symmetry
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...
Curated OER
Symmetry
Young scholars explore symmetry. In this geometry lesson, student identify and define bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry, pentagonal symmetry, hexagonal symmetry, and cubic symmetry. Students construct examples of these types of...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry, Shapes and Symbols
Which shapes are symmetrical? Third graders decide which shapes have lines of symmetry, and which shapes are not symmetrical. They work on 13 shapes and symbols, four of which have lines already drawn through them. Use this resource to...

Countdown Challenge: Live Symmetry in Regular & Irregular Polygons
For this symmetry worksheet, students identify lines of symmetry in given polygons. They discover the correlation between the number of sides and the number of lines of symmetry. Students determine the lines of symmetry in irregular...
Curated OER
Simply Symmetry
Students are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

Science and Math Lab (Students Look at Symmetry in Nature)
Young scholars study patterns. In this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Rotational Symmetry of Polygons and Other Figures
Learners explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Learners analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Fifth graders explore the concept of symmetry using lines drawn through different shapes. The worksheet that is included in the lesson should be used to chart the lines of symmetry for the different shapes drawn.
Curated OER
Name Each Shape
In this math worksheet, students analyze 15 pictures of geometric figures and match them to the names which are provided in a word bank. Students tell how many lines of symmetry each shape has.
Curated OER
The Overlooked Regular Pentagon
Tenth graders discuss the history of geometry as it relates to pentagons. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders solve problems of a pentagon inscribed inside of a circle using ratio. They review other properties for shapes of polygons...
Curated OER
Symmetry and Tessellations
Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students create tessellations. In this math lesson plan, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.
Curated OER
A Wall of Symmetrical Shapes
Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.
Curated OER
Folding to Make Shapes
Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...
Curated OER
Reflections
In this reflections activity, 10th graders solve and complete 34 different problems that include determining various reflections. First, they trace the figure and draw its reflection in each line. Then, 10th graders use the diagram shown...
Virginia Department of Education
Transformations
The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....
Curated OER
Boarding of Symmetrical Shapes
Second graders use geoboards to model polygons and to practice finding lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Mathematics in Art?
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...
Curated OER
Cutting Corners
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.
Curated OER
Pentagon Island
In this geometry activity, 10th graders solve word problems through graphing. They calculate how many different ways to make a trip from a train station to different destinations. An answer key is provided.

Unit 6 Math Vocabulary Cards (Grade 5)
Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...
Curated OER
Comparing and Contrasting
Students practice compare and contrast skills. In this science and language development instructional activity, students complete a T chart generating traits of a snail and a clam. Students complete a related worksheet.
Curated OER
Odd One Out
Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...
