Here is an activity I'd like to do with my class! They researching the ins and outs of Egyptian culture, hieroglyphs, symbolism, and art, then use what they know to create realistic or stylized Mummy cases. These cases need to include...

Students explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Students practice translating shapes across quadrants...

In this line of symmetry worksheet, 2nd graders fold a paper in half and cut two parts of a picture to show the line of symmetry. They answer 4 questions in which they color a domino to make it symmetrical. 

Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...

Young artists learn to build rhythm into a design by repeating colors, shapes, and patterns in a 3-D sculpture activity.

Stdents create symmetrical designs by cutting folded paper in this cross-curricular lesson for the Math and Art classsroom. The lesson is adaptable for any grade or ability level.

Learners cut out and trace a Flying Wing pattern on the bottom of the foam tray. They test flight it and observe the flight of the wing.

Fifth graders create a flying wing from a pastry tray. In this flying wing lesson, 5th graders understand how the shape of the wind affects flight. Students compare the flying wing to the zanonia seed in nature. Students make changes in...

Students explore the concepts of center of mass and static equilibrium by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance. They also analyze why all forces on an object must cancel out exactly for an object to be stationary.

Students view examples of snowflake persons previous students have made. Using construction paper, thye make a large cut out of a snowflake and add the proper clothing to wear during winter. They discuss how the snowflake is symmetrical...

Second graders explore Egyptian culture, including mummification, and hieroglyphic writings. They create their own mummy case using paper and a variety of materials. Students use symmetry to create their mummy.

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.

Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry instructional activity, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical...

Students explore two- and three-dimensional shapes.  In this very busy spider lesson, students read the story and then create a spider web pattern of their own. The webs must use a symmetrical pattern.  Additional activities...

Learners, with the use of the Internet among various other resources, research/locate Polish folktales and re-tell the Polish folktales in their own words. In addition, they examine the art of Wycinanki, Polish paper cutting.

First graders engage in a activity which teaches the concept of symmetry through the use of letters in the student's name. They use a piece of yarn to see if they can make symmetrical pieces out of their own names.

Second graders discuss what a line of symmetry is, then demonstrate how to fold shape cutouts to generate lines of symmetry. They demonstrate slides, flips, and turns with objects, and write explanations of changes they observe in pictures.

First graders create a symmetrical butterfly after reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. They fold a piece of fingerpaint paper in half to create a crease and after paint has been added , they refold and open their...

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This worksheet defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The...

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction lesson plan, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and contrast the two...

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Young scholars examine the concept of symmetry. They use photographs in front of a mirror to see symmetry. They write an explanation or drawing of how a mirror always produces a line of symmetry.
