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.

Students practice dance to divide the space or body shape into equal sections to create symmetry in dance. In this symmetry lesson plan, students practice symmetrical and asymmetrical movements in dance. Students participate in move and...

Students analyze a symmetrical stamp design with an equal balance of light and dark to create a pattern in succession. In this shape design instructional activity, students review concepts of sign, symbol and language across cultures....

As part of a study of design, young artists examine an example of a formal (symmetrical) design and then, following step-by-step directions, create their own. 

Young scholars explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Young scholars measure the plane's angles using a...

Add watercolors to white glue, paint onto clear film paper, fold, open, and voila, a butterfly! This art project, designed for special education classes, but perfect for any classroom, is sure to engage your young artists.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the alphabet and...

Learn about the Pennsylvania Dutch folk art, Rotational Hex Design. This image-rich presentation provides a comprehensive description of the origin and meaning behind these interesting totems. Instructions to create these symmetrical...

Learners make a design with pattern blocks and then pass them on to the rest of the class. They have to make them symmetrical and complete the design.
