Lesson Plans and Worksheets
Lesson Planet has given new life to concepts that I have taught for years! It is an awesome resource. I introduced my student teacher to Lesson Planet last year and she is using it this year in her classroom.

Transformations Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Transformations lesson plan ideas and activities
Students visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists, particularly M.C. Escher, have used transformational geometry in their artwork.
Students 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.
Young scholars explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students transform figures by reflection and rotation. Young scholars enter the coordinates into lists and transform the lists. Students transform a set of points that create an arrow.
Students work in cooperative groups to manipulate a figure on the computer to demonstrate different types of geometric transformations. They generate formulas that can be used to translate different figures.
Twelfth graders perform transformation on their different shapes. In this algebra lesson, 12th graders use transformation to move their graphs across the coordinate plane. They shift their function up, down, right and left.
Eighth graders perform transformation using the coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders predict and perform calculations as they perform transformation. They calculate dilation of the different images. Students present their findings in a PowerPoint presentation.
Students construct tessellations using reflections, rotations, and translations. In this tessellations lesson, students use Cabri Jr. to construct two different constructions of a triangle and quadrilateral. Students then transform the triangle and quadrilateral to create a tessellation.
Tenth graders explore quadrilaterals and triangles. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders examine kites, trapezoids, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombi, squares, and triangles and explore the properties of the various figures. The dynamic nature of the geometry utility facilitates measurement and conjecture regarding the properties.
Help your middle and high schoolers explore geometric terminology. In this geometry lesson, learners use the entire year to create an ABC Geometry book. Students use a list of terms learned in class to create a page for each letter. Students use a rubric to guide their process.
Tenth graders explore transformations. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders use tiles to create border or frieze patterns. Students identify the transformations used and identify it as an isometry or congruence transformation. Students investigate which properties are preserved with each border pattern created.
