Rotational Symmetry of Polygons and Other Figures
Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. For this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...
Curated OER
Aestheometry
Students explore the aesthetics of Geometry in this group activity, which provides a patterns page and a page for the leader of the group. Here, students create an eighth inch L shaped coordinate grid. They number the axis and use a...
Curated OER
Geometric Transformations
Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...
Curated OER
Match My Masterpiece
Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.
Curated OER
Watch It Slide!
Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.
Curated OER
Does the falling tree make a sound if no one if there to hear it? (or communication via encryption)
Students explore encryption. They discuss the importance of cryptography in our daily lives. Students use games and cryptography to discover transformational geometry and modulo systems. They design their own encryption puzzles and...
Curated OER
Coordinates
Fifth graders explore a plotting on a coordinate plane. Using a specified website, they play a "Maze Game" where they navigate a robot through a minefield. As students work through the problems, the rigor of the problems increase. ...
