Triangle Properties - Sort the triangles according to their properties.
Lines of Symmetry - drag the shapes that have lines of symmetry into one bin and those that do not into the other bin
Lines of Symmetry - this video lesson explains horizontal, vertical and diagonal line symmetry, and then gives your students the chance to show understanding on several quizzes.
Symmetry Activity - practice making patterns that have symmetry
Spooky Sequences - One of the ghosts is missing a number. Click on the numbers along the bottom to enter the right number in the sequence. (triangular numbers)
What Comes Next? - study repeating patterns and click on the one that continues the pattern
Create Your Own Pattern - drag shapes to create a pattern
Patterns - this video lesson explains patterns, and then gives your students the chance to show understanding on several quizzes.
