Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is especially important for geometry learners. Here are 119 pages worth of wonderfully constructed definitions, constructions, formulas, properties, theorems, and postulates. This is a...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Transform your geometry instruction by incorporating role play into math class. Pupils begin by completing an assessment to locate unknown angles, and then performing a simulation activity to better understand...

Mathematicians utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. They visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used...

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

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...

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.

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.

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.

Learn similarity through a transformations lens! Individuals examine the effects of transformations and analyze the properties of similarity, and conclude that any image that can be created through transformations is similar. The...

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

Can you follow a composition of transformations, or better yet construct them? Young mathematicians analyze the composition of dilations, examining both the scale factor and centers of dilations. They discover relationships for both...

This resource guides young geometers to create new polygons from others of equal area, compare an image to its reflection and find errors, conduct repeated reflections, map translations, and determine center of rotation. No solutions are...

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...

Create the ultimate miniature golf course. The 93-page model curriculum unit from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education contains nine lessons on understanding similarity in terms of both Euclidean geometry...

In the activity on this webpage, learners use interactive graphing technology to investigate transformations of graphs. In the first part of the task, they look at the graph of a quadratic function with coordinates of a few points...

In this rigid transformation worksheet, learners follow directions to translate, reflect or rotate a figure in a coordinate plane. Examples and explanations are provided at the beginning of the document. This two-page worksheet contains...

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

In this geometric transformations instructional activity, 4th graders choose how three shapes have been transformed, either reflected, rotated or translated.

In this identifying transformations worksheet, 3rd graders look at three figures and choose reflected, rotated or translated to indicate how it has been transformed.
