Lines of Symmetry
In this line of symmetry worksheet, 2nd graders fold a paper in half and cut two parts of a picture to show the line of symmetry. They answer 4 questions in which they color a domino to make it symmetrical.
Curated OER
Science and Math Lab (Students Look at Symmetry in Nature)
Students study patterns. In this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.
