Kidsperation has a great part where students make symmetrical patterns. This would be a great independent practice or follow up activity after a lesson on symmetry and symmetrical patterns. I could do this by scheduling my school's small computer lab which has the kidsperations program. I would model how to complete this before I asked the students to do this. This activity would happen after a lesson on symmetry had already been taught.
great idea - there might also be some activities on the virtual manipulatives site that would be helpful.
