Students identify the properties of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students cut out shapes try to construct polygons. Students analyze the shapes and fill out a table of characteristics.

Twelfth graders review for their analytic geometry test. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders review equations of graphs, relationship between graphs and equations, and transformation of graphs. After the review students are given...

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Tenth graders investigate transformations.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders are provided the coordinates of a fish and are directed to transform the fish according to the instructions. 

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships between...

It's just not enough to know that something is true. Part of a MVP Geometry unit teaches young mathematicians how to write flow proofs and two-column proofs for conjectures involving lines, angles, and triangles.

A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world...

A trip around the world sounds nice, but for now we'll just have to make do with Google Earth. Pupils use pictures of landmarks to apply geometry concepts. They determine whether each building has bilateral or rotational symmetry, search...

Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out....

Be sure to use this plum resource. Scholars apply an interactive to find the number of plums each friend receives after plum-picking. They see how the interactive relates to one-step equations.

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...

In this triangles activity, 10th graders solve and graph 8 different problems that include various transformations. First, they write a rule for the composition of a dilation of a scale factor. Then, students determine whether a graphed...

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the relationship...

Learners differentiate between translation, reflection and rotation. They explore the 3 types of transformation using Cabri Jr. and build on previous knowledge in this lesson.

In this transformation worksheet, students identify the point symmetry in each given drawing. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...

Using geoboards, computer programs, and hands-on manipulative materials, elementary schoolers engage in a study of two and three-dimensional geometric shapes. This lesson is chock full of good teaching ideas on the subject, and the...

Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

In this rotations instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different problems that include measuring various types of transformations of geometry. First, they determine the measure of an angle between two pointers....

Use this math worksheet to have your learners practice constructing a reflection of a shape drawn on a grid by using rotation. This simple worksheet has six problems for the pupils to solve, and includes and answer sheet.

High schoolers create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.
