Egg Decorating Symmetry Create a symmetrically decorated egg by dragging patterns onto areas of the egg template. (SOL 2. http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/3053

Geostrips - Make a Shape Ask pupils to make short triangles, tall rectangles and all sorts of variations by manipulating the corner points. Group shapes according to some made-up criteria (drag them from their centre). 'These shapes are all skinny'. 'These are all tipped over'. Can pupils make some shapes with one or more right angles or multiple lines of symmetry? (SOL 2. Sites for review and practice to build fluency. (SOL 2. http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/3237

Geostrips - Make with Lines

Use these geostrips to show me what a right angle looks like. Point out some right angles in the classroom. For those we can reach, how could we check? Which of these shapes has a right angle? Ask pupils to make shapes with 3, 4, 5 lines. Make random designs with multiple overlapping lines...what shapes can pupils see within the design? How many triangles can they see? http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/3240

Grid Symmetry Can you complete the grid by shading blocks to make a symmetrical pattern? (SOL 2. http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/activity/3270

I've Seen that Shape Before - Students learn the names of solid geometric shapes and explore their properties. At various centers, they use physical models of simple solid shapes, including cubes, cones, spheres, rectangular prisms, and triangular prisms.
