Fractal and the Dragon Curve
Learners explore Fractal designs. For this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.
Curated OER
Transformers
Students use transformation to move the graph around. In this geometry lesson, students observe transformation of symmetry groups. They use the TI to move the sides of the polygons around and make predictions.
Curated OER
Let the Matrix Do It
Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...
Curated OER
students rotate through four workstations that reinforce the concept of symmetry
Second graders, in pairs, use arrays to explore the relationship between multiplication and division.

Mum's Kitchen Floor
Students discuss patterns on a chess board examining symmetries. They read the problem and then brainstorm for ways to solve the problem. As they complete the floor pattern, they record symmetries that it contains.
Curated OER
No-Three-In-A-Line Again
Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...
Curated OER
Geo Jammin By Design: The Important Thing
Students brainstorm what they know about geometric terms and patterns. They identify symmetry, shapes and congruency. They create a book of symmetry.
Curated OER
Spiders' Wheel
Students engage in a lesson which reinforces the concepts of clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, while developing an understanding that angles are measured in degrees. They utilize a mathematics educational program to gain practice.
Curated OER
Noughts
Young scholars try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Young scholars apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain...
