Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students explore lines of symmetry. For this symmetry lesson, students divide and combine shapes along basic lines of symmetry. Students explore symmetry in real life objects.

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. In this geometry lesson, students define the theorems and reasons for polygons similarity and congruence. They are given pictures and patterns to differentiate and identify.
