Symmetries in Quadrilateral Tilings

In this symmetry activity, 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...

This can be used as a critical thinking exercise in congruence or as a teaching tool when first introducing the concept. Four octagons are arranged in such a way that a square is formed in the middle. With this information, geometry...

Working on symmetry in your class? If so, this worksheet might be for you. Learners observe different triangles and quadrilaterals, determine which are symmetrical, draw in the lines of symmetry, and color the symmetrical shapes. In...

In this symmetry worksheet, 7th graders identify and complete 12 different lines of symmetry in polygons. First, they color all of the polygons that have a line of symmetry. Then, students circle all of the regular polygons and use the...

In this tile patterns instructional activity, students identify and complete 8 different problems that include determining the patterns found using tiles. First, they draw a figure in the space provided and explain the pattern. Then,...

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.

This resource provides 5 different worksheets on the topic of polygons and symmetry. These worksheets cover rotational symmetry, lines of symmetry, symmetry of regular polygons, special quadiralaterals, and polygon transformation. The...

In this polygons worksheet, 7th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include renting space for artists at a street fair. First, they determine the space that would cost the most amount of money to rent according to the...

What's the opposite of multiplying binomials? Learners apply their previous knowledge of multiplying binomials using algebra tiles to factor trinomials. The lesson plan introduces factoring as a process that uses algebra tiles to...

Build on your learners' previous knowledge of geometric shapes and symmetrical figures. Then set them out to take photos of geometric shapes on campus. They assess whether the photos contain symmetry or not.
