Symmetry Sweep at Alhambra

Angles & Symmetry Adventure Pack

Intricate mosaics shimmer across the walls of the Alhambra — but something is off. Patterns are misaligned. Reflections do not match. Rotations are incomplete. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the geometric design grid. If angles and symmetry are not restored, the palace’s beautiful patterns could lose their balance.

In Symmetry Sweep at Alhambra, students glide in on the Mosaic Mapper Glider and step into a high-stakes geometry mission. To rebuild the palace’s designs, explorers must identify right, acute, and obtuse angles, explore how angles appear in shapes, and begin using a protractor. By locating lines of symmetry and understanding reflection and rotation, students restore harmony to the intricate patterns.

This adventure blends foundational angle knowledge and symmetry concepts with visual reasoning and creative exploration.

For families or classrooms that want to extend the experience, this Adventure Pack adds collectible cards and hands-on components that bring the geometry mission into the physical world. The learning experience is the same whether students use the physical pack or not. The pack simply adds a tactile, collectible layer to the adventure.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Symmetry Sweep at Alhambra Adventure Pack explores core Angles & Symmetry concepts, including:

• Angle – The space between two lines that meet at a point
• Right Angle – An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees
• Acute – An angle smaller than 90 degrees
• Obtuse – An angle larger than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
• Protractor (Intro) – A tool used to measure angles
• Symmetry Line – A line that divides a shape into two matching halves
• Reflection – A flip of a shape over a line
• Rotation (Intro) – A turn of a shape around a point
• Angles in Shapes – Identifying and analyzing angles within polygons

Each concept appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing geometry understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
