Analyze various shapes according to their reflective and rotational symmetries.

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

Suppose ABCD is a quadrilateral for which there is exactly one rotation, through an angle larger than 0 degrees and less than 360 degrees, which maps it to itself. Further, no reflections map ABCD to itself. What shape is ABCD? Aligns...

This task examines the rigid motions which map a rectangle onto itself. The emphasis here is on careful reasoning using the definitions of reflections and rotations. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

Uses an egg to demonstrate the concept of axis of symmetry. Put your cursor over the picture to "move" around the egg. Offers links to related concepts, including Cartesian Ovals and Ovals of Cassini.

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

There is exactly one reflection and no rotation that sends the convex quadrilateral ABCD onto itself. What shape(s) could quadrilateral ABCD be? Explain. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

Provides real world examples of symmetry in architecture, including pictures of each kind of symmetry, examples, acknowledgements, and a bibliography.

Investigate the concept of symmetry at this test prep site. See detailed definitions and picture examples, answer the questions in the interactive practice pages, and do the classroom activity where students use a digital camera to...

This site gives a definition of angle of rotation and provides some examples. There is also an interactive activity in which a JavaSketchPad page is provided for you to explore rotations. In addition, be sure to follow the links to...

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

This lesson focuses on wallpaper groups. While there are infinitely many possible patterns, they all have one of just 17 different symmetry groups. These are called the Wallpaper Groups. Every wallpaper group is defined by a combination...
