In The Garden
Students examine symmetry and transformation concepts. They create patterns that translate, reflect and rotate. Students participate in a variety of activities that explore transformation concepts through the context of a garden.
Curated OER
Reflections
Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

Symmetrical Mummy Drawings/Mixed Media
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.
Curated OER
Snowflake Curve
Young scholars develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the...
Curated OER
Transformers
Students use transformation to move the graph around. In this geometry lesson, students observe transformation of symmetry groups. They use the TI to move the sides of the polygons around and make predictions.
Curated OER
T H E P O W E R O F A R C H I T E C T U R E
Students arecognize the architecture of another culture, how the architecture of a people records their history, explore artistic elements, explore and use geometric concepts of shape, pattern, and symmetry.

Cross-Stitching a Frog Bookmark
Learners identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Learners identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...
Curated OER
Puck Meets Leonardo
Students create a puppet of Puck from the story read aloud. Then they identify how they can use the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci to help Puck complete his task. Students also observe the inventions of Leonardo from books and online...
Curated OER
Worksheet 9, Rational Functions
In this algebra worksheet, students tell how they would find the domain of a rational function. They find the intercepts of a rational function and graph it. Students test for symmetry, locate the asymptotes and determine where the graph...
Curated OER
Graphs of Quadratic Functions Section 11.6
In this graphing worksheet, young scholars graph quadratic functions. They identify the maximum and minimum value of the function, determine the line of symmetry, and locate the vertex. Coordinate planes are provided for each function....
Curated OER
Radial Design Mandala
Students design original radial art designs.In this radial design lesson, students use compasses and a nature inspired idea to create radial art. Students understand the use of symmetry, balance and design shapes in continual patterns....
Curated OER
The Very Busy Spider-Pattern
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...
Curated OER
students rotate through four workstations that reinforce the concept of symmetry
Second graders, in pairs, use arrays to explore the relationship between multiplication and division.
Curated OER
Comparing and Contrasting
Students practice compare and contrast skills. In this science and language development lesson, students complete a T chart generating traits of a snail and a clam. Students complete a related worksheet.
Curated OER
Keeping in Shape
Third graders describe patterns in terms of reflection and rotation symmetry, and translations. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. They demonstrate why a given tessellation covers the...
Curated OER
Picasso Portraits
Learners investigate the style of art known as cubism. They study Picasso and create a cubism portrait. Students work in partners to survey the basic symmetry of the face and head. They research the progression into cubism that Picasso...
Curated OER
Goli Mask Baule, Ivory Coast
Students create Goli masks. In this visual arts lesson, students design and create Goli and Kifwebe-style masks that feature symmetry in the style of those found on the Ivory Coast.
Curated OER
Camping with a Triangular Prism and Its Net
Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.
Curated OER
Tree of Life Mandala Print
Students create a Tree of Life. In this visual art lesson, students explore mandalas. Students investigate the concepts of balance and symmetry while designing their own unique Tree of Life.
Curated OER
Mum's Kitchen Floor
Students discuss patterns on a chess board examining symmetries. They read the problem and then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem. As they complete the floor pattern, they record symmetries that it contains.
