Curated OER
Using Symmetry to Create a Community Quilt
Students create a class "quilt" made of paper. In this hands-on symmetry lesson, students fold paper to create symmetrical figures then work in groups to color quilt patches that will form together to make a symmetrical class quilt.

Symmetric Snowflake
For this pattern block symmetry worksheet, students analyze one half of a snowflake design. Students cover the design with pattern blocks and complete the design so that the dotted line is a line of symmetry.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
In this line symmetry practice activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.
Curated OER
Symmetry: Practice
In this symmetry worksheet, students trace the figures, turn them, and then write yes or no to tell if it has rotational symmetry. Students tell how many degrees they turned it to determine the symmetry. Students repeat the process for...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry- Reteaching Worksheet
In this line symmetry reteaching worksheet, 4th graders determine which letters of the alphabet display a line of symmetry. They compare to lines drawn through 4 letters and circle the one that shows symmetry. They draw one or two lines...

Introduction: Complete the Symmetry
In this symmetry worksheet, students observe a model and then complete the shape to make it symmetrical. This one-page worksheet contains two basic problems.
Curated OER
Reflection in a Point
In this reflection of point worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various points reflection. First, they determine the image at the point given under a point of reflection. Then, students determine if an image...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
In this line symmetry worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they classify each figure illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither line of symmetry. Then,...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this math worksheet, students practice drawing the lines of symmetry for each of the polygons. They also draw mirror images for the figures.
Curated OER
Exploring Lines of Symmetry
Students investigate the concept of symmetry. They use cut out shapes that are folded in order to practice identifying the lines of symmetry. The lesson is observed by the teacher working with students for the purpose of scaffolding and...
Curated OER
Simply Symmetry
Young scholars make pictures with squeeze bottles of tempera paint, and fold the paper to show lines of symmetry. They complete a T chart to showing lines of symmetry. They access a website to complete a symmetry activity.
Curated OER
Pattern Matching
First graders examine how to determine the lines of symmetry in pictures, shapes, and patterns by completing the lessons in this unit. They make patterns that show a line of symmetry and describe it using their own language.
Curated OER
Symme"tree"
Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.
Curated OER
A Wall of Symmetrical Shapes
Students explore line(s) of symmetry in polygons during a hands-on activity and a Student Web Lesson. They build a wall of symmetrical shapes designed and drawn by students.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
A strong PowerPoint provides several examples of lines of symmetry found in nature. Each slide shows a different picture and asks the question, "Where are the lines of symmetry?" This resource would be good for reinforcing the concept of...
Curated OER
Symmetry of the Southwest
Fourth graders examine mirror symmetry. In this symmetry instructional activity, 4th graders discover that symmetry is not always vertical or horizontal. Students cut and fold shapes along lines of symmetry.
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this lines of symmetry instructional activity, learners check yes or no to tell whether sets of lines shown are lines of symmetry. A reference web site for additional activities is given.
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
In this line symmetry instructional activity, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various forms of line symmetry. They classify each line of symmetry illustrated as horizontal, vertical, both, or neither. Then students...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Second graders, in order to recognize symmetrical objects, cut a symmetrical object of their choosing out of construction paper and proceed with the step by step instructions from the teacher. After working on worksheet problems, they...
