OK, now this is a cool resource. It contains ideas for 7 stations intended to be used by kids and their parents during family night at school. Each station engages learners (of all ages) in using scientific reasoning and mathematical...

This straightforward worksheet provides learners with valuable practice in identifying different symmetries of functions.  Brief, but thorough explication at the front of the worksheet guides and reminds learners of the techniques...

In this rotational symmetry activity, students solve 14 short answer and graphing problems. Students identify the order and magnitude of given figures.  Students find the scale factor of a dilation given a graph.

These monsters are only half-drawn! Challenge scholars to observe the line of symmetry and draw in the other half to reflect the first half. There are six simple monsters in all, and scholars can color them in once finished (encourage...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

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...

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

Students explore the equation of a parabola. Given a real life situation concerning a light house and a boat, students use wax paper to model and observe a relationship among given points. They write an equation describing the possible...

Students investigate different types of Navajo rug design. They use a graphics program to create a rug-like design similar to the Navajo patterns they've researched.

Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides. 

Challenge your class to identify, label, and draw a wide range of symmetries with this worksheet. In addition, learners name symmetrical shapes and compare them to alphabet letters. This worksheet asks class members to work with lines of...

Fifth graders investigate the symmetry of pattern block shapes. Students, working in groups determine whether each shape has line symmetry, rotational symmetry or both kinds of symmetry. Students determine how many lines of symmetry the...

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. 

Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet"...

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...

Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This activity defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The activity...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the lesson,...

Students identify symmetry as a word and concept using drawings. The lesson is cross-cultural using traditional Lao Art. The goal is to then apply the skills of symmetry to personal works of art that are produced.

In this reflections and symmetry worksheet, students draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

In this reflections and rotations worksheet, students reflect and rotate lines in graphs and draw lines of symmetry through patterns. Students complete 24 problems.

First graders create symmetrical designs using a computer program.  In this lines of symmetry lesson plan, 1st graders review their symmetrical designs and discuss other ways symmetrical designs can be made.  Students work in...

In this geometry worksheet, learners draw 6 different shapes as requested by 6 specific directives in the circles provided. Students draw 2D and 3D shapes.

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.
