Do these dotted lines indicate symmetry? Some of them do, and scholars determine which ones in 12 different images. Because some of these are tricky, it may be helpful to have large versions of these shapes printed and cut out. This way,...

Extend scholars' learning experience with a unit consisting of five shape lesson plans, an extension activity, assessment, and rubric. Begin by reading a story about shapes, then conduct an overview and assign pupils' their first...

Investigate the attributes of polygons. A thorough set of lessons presents problem scenarios for elementary through high school classes. The first lessons focus on basic characteristics of polygons, including the line of symmetry. As the...

Play around with symmetry with this worksheet! Learners examine an image of half of a bug drawn on grid paper and complete the drawing, making the image symmetrical. The bug contains curved lines as well as patterns to copy over to the...

Explore two and three-dimensional shapes. Learners first examine three 2-D shapes and determine which of three 3-D figures could have made that shape. The wording here is a bit confusing; make sure your kids understand what it is...

Helpful for beginning ESL classes as well as any elementary class working on colors and shapes, this presentation is clear and easy to understand. Each slide features one shape that is also one color (white circle, yellow square, purple...

Learners take pictures of shapes and faces they see and draw lines of symmetry in them. For this symmetry lesson plan, students also draw one half of another student's face.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...
