LESSON PLAN-2

1- General Entries
Date- 20/09/20 Subject- MATHEMATICS Period- 3RD
Class- 7TH Chapter- SYMMETRY Duration- 35 MIN.
1- General Objectives

 To develops mathematical perspective of the students.

 To develops the interest of students in the learning of the subject.
 To aid the students in becoming familiar with the basic mathematical concepts.

2- Specific Objectives
KNOWLEDGE  Students will be able to define reflectional symmetry
 Students will be able to identify if an object has reflectional or
rotational symmetry.

COMPREHENSION  Students will be able to distinguish between line of symmetry

and rotational symmetry.

SYNTHESIS  Students will be able to categorize alphabets which have

reflectional symmetry.

3- Previous Knowledge

Students have knowledge about line of symmetry and rotational symmetry.

4- Introduction (ENGAGEMENT)
Pupil Teacher Activity Student’s Activity Whiteboard Work (optional)

What do you find when you look at the A mirror image.

mirror?

When you put anything in front of mirror It will show at the same
at some distance, how far does it look like distance in the mirror.
in a mirror?

Why is an ambulance written in reverse on Problematic question

an ambulance?

5- Statement of Aim

Today we will study about reflectional symmetry.

EXPLORATION
Pupil Teacher Activity Student’s Activity Whiteboard Work/Demonstration
Developmentary Questions
Pupil teacher holds up a blank piece of
paper vertically along the nose of the
picture.

People teacher will ask-

If I put this blank piece of paper across Both sides of your face.
nose vertically, what would you see?

What similarities do you notice on the Both sides have the same
right- and left-hand side of my face? shapes and features.

Would it make a difference if I turned the We would see the top and
paper horizontally? bottom of your face.

EXPLANATION

An image has Reflectional Symmetry if

there is at least one line which splits the
image in half so that one side is the mirror
image of the other.

Pupil Teacher Statement (ELABORATION)

Reflectional symmetry is also called line Students will listen carefully

symmetry or mirror symmetry because
there is a line in the figure where a mirror
could be placed, and the figure would look
the same. Sometimes reflectional
symmetry is referred to as a FLIP.
EVALUATION (only questions)
1. Which letter look the same after reflection when the mirror is placed vertically?
a) H
b) Q
c) P
d) S

2. What letters of the English alphabet have reflectional symmetry?

i) a Vertical mirror – H, I, A, U
ii) a horizontal mirror – C, X, I, O

Developmentary Questions

How may line of symmetry does a square 4

have?

What is the order of rotational symmetry? 4

Name the most symmetrical figure. Circle,

Why is it called most symmetrical? Because it has infinite

number of lines of
symmetry.
Pupil Teacher Statement

Hence, circle is called the most Students will listen carefully

symmetrical figure because it can be
rotated around the its centre and at the
same time it has unlimited number of lines
of symmetry.
Every line through the centre forms a line
of symmetry and it has rotational
symmetry around the centre of every
angle.
Example – wheel.

Evaluation
 1. Fill in the blanks-
Shape Line of symmetry Degree of rotation Reflectional symmetry
Rectangle 2 2 Yes
Hexagon 6 6 Yes
2. Name the quadrilateral with the rotational symmetry more than order 1 but not a line symmetry.
Rhombus

Closure
 Mirror reflection leads to symmetry, under which the left-right orientation has to be taken care of.
 A figure can have one or more lines of reflection symmetry.
 The line of symmetry can be in any direction.
 Reflection symmetry is a type of symmetry which is with respect to reflections. Reflection symmetry is also
known as line symmetry or mirror symmetry.
Recapitulation (only question)

1. Which of the following are reflections of each other?

2. What letters of the English alphabet have reflectional symmetry both horizontal and vertical mirror?
a) D
b) B
c) X
d) M

3. Which alphabet has rotational symmetry of order 2?

a) A
b) V
c) E
d) I
4. Which capital letter has just one line of symmetry?
a) S
b) F
c) E
d) T
5. Parallelogram has-
a) 2 line of symmetry
b) 2 order of rotational symmetry
c) Both a and b
d) None of the above

Home Assignment (should extend learning of the students and not repeat what was taught)
1. Write the names of five regular polygons which have lines of symmetry, reflectional symmetry and
rotational symmetry.
