Abstract: Computer models for self-preparation for a game with mathematical dominoes Axes of Symmetry are presented, which also has the role of an educational resource on Symmetry. A computer model has been developed, in which the multiplicity of rotational symmetry is automatically and randomly generated, which is used to obtain each of the figures on the domino plates. The freely available electronic resources are developed with dynamic GeoGebra software and are provided in the Virtual Mathematics Laboratory, developed at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

Keywords: dominoes, symmetry, digital competences, STEAM, GeoGebra, self-assessment.
