Pupils identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Students translate functions horizontally and vertically. In this algebra activity, students identify the parts of the formula that allows the graph to move left, right, up and down. They perform a transformation on the coordinate plane.

Explore different types of functions using an interactive lesson. Learners enter functions and view the accompanying graphs. They can choose to show key features or adjust the scale of the graph.

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

In this trigonometric functions worksheet, students solve and complete 28 various types of problems. First, they convert each function from degrees to radians. Then, students find the six trigonometric functions associated with the x...

Once you know how to graph y = b^x, the sky's the limit. Young mathematicians learn to graph basic exponential functions and identify key features, and then graph functions of the form f(x) = ab^(x – h) + k from the function f(x) = b^x.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The instructional activity provides ample opportunity for...

In this math worksheet, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This worksheet has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Travel the world from the comfort of your classroom with a lesson that features Google Earth. High schoolers follow a series of steps to locate places all over the earth with sets of coordinates. Additionally, they measure the distance...

Magnets don't grow in fields, but magnetic fields are important to understand. The lesson covers the effect electricity has on magnetic fields. Scholars use a compass, magnets, and electrical wire to test magnetic fields and energy...

Take the first step into graphing sequences. Learners set the starting number, multiplier, add-on, and the number of steps for a sequence. Using the inputs, the interactive calculates and plots the sequence on the coordinate plane. Users...

Sketch graphs with the Graph Sketcher. Scholars graph functions on a coordinate plane. An interactive makes it as easy as inputting the function and clicking a button.

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Young scholars engage in a lesson plan that focuses on analytic geometry. The lesson plan asked them to apply skills of relating equations when plotting them on the coordinate plane. Students construct the equations using specific...

Tenth graders perform reflections on different geometric shapes. In this geometry worksheet,students define the concept of geometric reflections and find the coordinates of the reflection on a coordinate grid.

Transform the classroom into a coordinate plane. Scholars walk along parallel lines drawn on a coordinate plane on the classroom floor. They measure angles and slopes and use the results to develop criteria that would make the lines...

Patterns can be shifty! Find the pattern when shifting the graph of tangent. Pupils move the graph of tangent to different locations on the coordinate plane. They observe what happens to the function and its vertical asymptotes...

Fifth graders duplicate patterns, guess pattern results and identify the symmetries created. They are given an instructional handout, 5th graders replicate the patterns demonstrated by folding the paper and punching the appropriate...

Pupils multiply the vertical and horizontal distances from the center of dilation by the scale factor. The independent practice prompts the class to analyze the relationship between the image and pre-image. The lesson is...
