Use the coordinate plane to show two figures are similar. The lesson plan incorporates congruence transformations and dilations to move a figure on to another figure. Pupils determine that if a similarity transformation...

What happens when rotating an image 180 degrees? The sixth lesson in the series of 18 takes a look at this question. Learners discover the pattern associated with 180-degree rotations. They then use transparency paper to perform the...

While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

It's time for a concept check! Check for student understanding over the three types of rigid transformations. The assessment follows the first 10 lessons in this series and to test pupils' proficiency of these concepts. Individuals...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Sixth graders complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders draw and label a coordinate...

In this transformations worksheet, students observe the errors in the reflection of a picture.  They determine the number of transformations needed to complete a grid.  Students perform reflections according to directions and...

In this transformations worksheet, high schoolers solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  High schoolers determine scale factors and lines of...

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

In this translation worksheet, pupils translate points according to given expressions. They plot points on a coordinate plane. This two-page worksheet contains five problems. Answers are provided on the last page.

Transform lizards onto different locations. The interactive provides a diagram of a lizard and several locations. Pupils use their knowledge of transformations to move the lizard to the different locations and use the tools of GeoGebra...

Put the graph into graphing and allow learners to understand the concept of point plotting and how it relates to data. The worksheet provides a nice way to connect data analysis to a graph and make predictions. The worksheets within...

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

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...

In this reflection of shapes worksheet, learners graph images on a coordinate plane. They reflect the image and sketch it on the graph. They write a rule to describe the transformation. This four-page worksheet contains 14 problems....

Geometers graph figure translations, find coordinates for transformed figures, and write rules to describe transformations presented. The 2-page worksheet contains 14 problems, with answer key attached.

A triangle rests in quadrant two, from which your class members must draw reflections, both over x=2 and x=-2. This focused exercise strengthens students' skills when it comes to reflection on the coordinate plane.

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Examine dilation with matrices with your class. Learners write a conjecture for how the scale factor determines the size of an image. They then use their conjecture to write a matrix multiplication problem for the illustrated...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, young scholars explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Students perform transformations on their graphs. In this algebra activity, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. For this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

High schoolers define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry lesson, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

Students perform reflections of polygons. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to calculate the reflection across the x and y axis. They also calculate rotation representing 90 and 180 degrees around the origin of the coordinate...
