  1. Mathematics Monday Sixth Grade Warm-ups: Week 4 Symmetry

  2. The Nazca lines of Peru are famous for the mystery of their creation. No one is sure how the native population drew them. You have discovered so new ones that have never been seen before. They appear to be similar in shape to some modern English words. Which of the following words does not have rotational symmety? SOS NOON SWIMS MOM Answer Social Studies

  3. Social Studies- Answer • Correct answer: D (MOM) • All of the other words show 180 degree rotational symmetry. 180 degrees is the equivalent of looking at the words upside down. Try it, all of them make the same word when you look at it upside down except for MOM which turns in to WOW! Menu

  4. Problems of the Week • Language Arts • Science • Social Studies • Connections • Physical Ed. & Health • Music

  5. I only I & II II only I & III Answer The sixth grade is planning a book display for the rising sixth grade orientation program. It will be heart shaped. Which type of of symmetry will the display have? A vertical line of symmetry A horizontal line of symmetry Rotational symmetry Language Arts

  6. While doing observations of cloud patterns for science, a group of sixth graders notices a group of clouds that had the shape of several polygons that they had studied. Which polygon has line symmetry but does NOT have rotational symmetry? Equilateral triangle Isosceles triangle square Rectangle Answer Science

  7. The Nazca lines of Peru are famous for the mystery of their creation. No one is sure how the native population drew them. You have discovered so new ones that have never been seen before. They appear to be similar in shape to some modern English words. Which of the following words does not have rotational symmety? SOS NOON SWIMS MOM Answer Social Studies

  8. Ms. King’s technology class is completing a balsa wood project. Which of the following quadrilaterals does not have rotational symmetry? Answer Connections

  9. If you look at the floor of the gym, how many lines of symmetry does it have? 2 4 6 8 Answer Physical Ed & Health

  10. Ms. Sallas is working on some new routines for the McClure drum line. Her new line up includes the need for a pattern that has only one line of symmetry. Which of the following letters represents a line up that has only one line of symmetry. X O U H Answer Music

  11. Language Arts- Answer • Correct answer: A (I only) • The heart shape pictured has only a vetical line of symmetry. Menu

  12. Science- Answer • Correct answer: B (Isosceles Triangle) • All of the other shapes listed can be rotated (turned) and still look the same. An isosceles triangle (a triangle with two sides congruent) can only be rotated 360 degrees and look the same. Menu

  13. Social Studies- Answer • Correct answer: D (MOM) • All of the other words show 180 degree rotational symmetry. 180 degrees is the equivalent of looking at the words upside down. Try it, all of them make the same word when you look at it upside down except for MOM which turns in to WOW! Menu

  14. Connections- Answer • Correct answer: C (The trapezoid) • Only the trapezoid cannot be rotated and make the same shape. Menu

  15. Physical Ed & Health- Answer • Correct answer: A (only two) Menu

  16. Music- Answer • Correct answer: C (the U has only one line of symmetry) • U Menu
