Symmetry is a term found in art, math, and science, prep your students to encounter symmetry from any angle. This presentation provides several simple examples of shapes that do and do not have a line of symmetry.

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. In this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing...

In t his symmetry worksheet, students determine whether shapes are symmetrical. A website reference for additional activities is given.

Students identify symmetrical shapes around their classroom and make symmetry journals. In this symmetry lesson plan, students make drawings of symmetrical shapes inside their journals.

In this symmetry worksheet, students view and draw border patterns and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 3 activities.

In this identifying symmetrical shapes worksheet, 1st graders look at 6 pictures, then circle the ones that are symmetrical shapes.

Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Students explore symmetry.  Students observe a variety of bug and plant drawings, then draw a bug jar. Students observe bugs from the top of the jar for a symmetrical view, and the side of the jar for an asymmetrical view. ...

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the relationship...

In this symmetry learning exercise, students circle the shape if it has lines of symmetry and draw in the lines of symmetry. Students finish with one test prep questions finding the shape that has a correctly drawn line of symmetry.

In this symmetry learning exercise, students read a brief paragraph about symmetry, then draw the right side of a tiger's face so that it is symmetrical with the left side, which is complete.

In this math worksheet, students examine the shapes given in two dimensions. They determine which ones are symmetrical to each other.

Students demonstrate similarities and differences in animal forms, including humans.They investigate geometric relationships within those forms by building an animal using Zome System elements.

Students analyze symmetries of quadrilateral tilings and discover how various types of symmetries, used alone or in combination, can generate the same pattern in more than one way.

Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.

Students examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to...

Students participate in a variety of activities about how caterpillers become butterflies.

Fourth graders demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

In this symmetry in art worksheet, students circle the objects below that are examples of symmetry. Students then draw a line through the center of each image to show how the halves are symmetrical.

Students investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Sixth graders explore symmetry and discuss the difference between a rotation and reflection. Using hands-on activities, such as folding paper shapes, they discover how to find the lines of symmetry and symmetrical characteristics. As a...

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...
