Erica A. Lesson Planet is absolutely amazing! I teach at a school in the Dominican Republic and rely heavily on the internet for resources. Now, I no longer have to sift through the huge amounts of irrelevant information generated by internet search engines - I love being able to find creative lessons and worksheets for my students in a matter of minutes!

Transformations
76
10th
3.0/5 Stars

Tenth graders explore transformations.  In this geometry activity, 10th graders investigate translations, reflections, rotations, and dilatation's on a Cartesian coordinate plane.  Step-by-step instructions are provided for the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.

Dilation and Area
128
9th - 11th
3.0/5 Stars

Students investigate dilations.  In this geometry lesson, students investigate the relationship between the area of a geometric shape and the dilation factor.  The use of geometry software allows for conjecture and verification.

Dilations with Matrices
79
10th - 11th
4.5/5 Stars

Students explore dilations. For this Algebra II lesson, students use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origins of triangles. Students investigate the effect of scale factor on the size relationship between the pre-image and the image of a polygon.

Transformations in the Coordinate Plane
267
9th - 12th
4.5/5 Stars

Young mathematicians explore the concept of transformations by constructing a polygon on their calculator using lists. Students transform the polygon using lists and reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate polygons.

Transformers
46
9th - 12th
4.5/5 Stars

TIalgebra has put together a lesson on transforming polygons using matrices. Examples of isometric as well as successive transformations are explored. The class uses graphing calculators to see how transformations can occur in a few of the infinite number of ways.

Transform Your Geometry into a Work of Art
506
9th - 10th
4.0/5 Stars

Learners utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used geometry in their artwork.

Matrix Transformations
158
8th - 12th
4.5/5 Stars

In this geometrical transformations worksheet, pupils use their graphing calculator to translate a rectangle. They track the list values and anticipate the next movements.

Dilations in the Plane
314
9th - 11th
4.0/5 Stars

In this geometry lesson, students collect and analyze data as they investigate relationships between the pre-image and the image of a triangle. They investigate angle measures, side lengths, and the dilation factor. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows students to form and verify conjectures regarding dilations.

Transformations with Lists
159
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

High schoolers explore the concept of transformations.  In this transformations lesson, students transform figures by reflection and rotation.  High schoolers enter the coordinates into lists and transform the lists.  Students transform a set of points that create an arrow.

Matrix Transformations
636
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Twelfth graders explore transforming matrices representing figures in the coordinate plane by entering data points of figures such as triangles and quadrilaterals into a matrix. High schoolers dilate, rotate, reflect, and translate the figures by multiplying by translation matrices.
