Knowledge: RD TH

The lesson plan outlines a 35 minute mathematics class for 7th grade students on the topic of symmetry. The objectives are to develop logical thinking, scientific attitude, problem solving skills, and apply mathematics to daily life. Students will learn to identify symmetric objects, draw one half based on the other, and compare symmetric and asymmetric figures. Previous knowledge of lines of symmetry will be built upon. Key teaching points include identifying lines of symmetry in regular polygons and examples of rotational symmetry. Students will participate in an activity to understand rotational symmetry of order 4. The lesson aims to explain that symmetry is found in nature and shapes can be symmetric or asymmetric.

What is a regular polygon? Figure having sides and


angles of equal measures.

Name some regular polygons. Equilateral triangle, square,


pentagon, hexagon.

How many lines of symmetry do these Don’t know


regular polygons have?

Pupil Teacher Statement

Therefore, each regular polygon has as Students will listen carefully

we can say that, they have multiple lines
of symmetry.

What if you spin the wheel of the bicycle, Clockwise and anticlockwise
it rotates in which direction? both.

Give one example for each –

b) Anticlockwise direction b) Movement of earth
c) Clockwise and Anticlockwise both c) Paper windmill

Pupil Teacher Statement

When an object rotates, its shape and size Students will listen carefully
do not change. The rotation turns an
object about the fixed point. The fixed
point is centre of rotation. The angle of
turning during rotation is called angle of
rotation.

Pupil Teacher Statement (Optional)

Therefore, no line of symmetry is present Students will listen carefully


in paper windmill. Hence no folding can
help to have coincident halves. However,
when we rotate it by 90 degree about the
fixed position, the windmill will look
exactly same. So, it has rotational
symmetry.
In a full turn, there are precisely 4
positions when it looks exactly the same.
Because of this it has rotational symmetry
of order 4.

Evaluation

1. Give one example which has both lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry. Draw its figure with the order
of rotational symmetry. SQUARE (90 DEGREE) OR EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE (60 DEGREE).
Closure

✓ Symmetry is a geometrical concept that is found in most cases including nature.


✓ Any geometric shape can be said to be symmetric or asymmetric
✓ A shape is said to be symmetric if there exists an imaginary line passing through that divides the shape into
halves and that these halves overlap each other completely.
✓ Most regular polygons have both line and rotational symmetry.
