In this dilations and similarity worksheet, pupils solve 10 different problems that include various dilations. First, they determine the scale factor of dilations found in the illustrated graphs. Then, everyone determines the coordinates...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

Students solve problems of dilation and velocity. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems and relate it to time and velocity.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Young scholars identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

Transform the thinking of transformations with six sample items that illustrate the first four standards in the eighth grade geometry domain. Items use the coordinate plane to transform figures and analyze the relationship of the figures...

There are four activities in this extensive lesson covering the identity matrix and scaling, the linear representation of translations, the linear representation of rotations, and reflections. In small groups, they use the Cabri II...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Students create reflections over two lines. In this reflections worksheet, students compare and contrast reflections over parallel and intersecting lines. They dilate figures and investigate the effect of the dilation using measurement...

Using a data collection device to collect data regarding a bouncing ball, students use various features on graphing calculators to experiment with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the...

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. For this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...

Students write the equation of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

Mathematicians compare triangles at different scales. In this geometry lesson, young scholars calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They use the Ti to make observation of the change that takes place as the triangles are dilated.

Students investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.

Students solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry instructional activity, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....
