Students perform transformations and translation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students move shapes around on a graph identifying translation, image, and transformation. This lesson has an interactive part online that...

Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

Students examine transformations. In this math lesson plan, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.

In this motions in geometry worksheet, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page worksheet contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve problems that are bimodal. They define properties of circles and triangles. There are 117 questions.

Looking for a different approach to triangle congruence criteria? Employ transformations to determine congruent triangles. Learners list the transformations required to map one triangle to the next. They learn to identify congruence...

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.

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders match basic vocabulary words relating to angles, circles, quadrilaterals, and transformations in a drag and drop game format.  The one page interactive worksheet contains twenty matching...

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations lesson plan, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry in their...

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

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...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

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.

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry instructional activity, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

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...

Change is coming — but how much? Geology pupils discover the transformation of metamorphic rock using a well-rounded interactive. Topics include the effects of pressure and temperature on metamorphic rock, how time factors into the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve questions that involve rotations, reflections, and dilations.  The one page worksheet contains ten multiple choice questions.  Answers are not provided. 

Fifth graders use the guess and check technique to solve a problem involving transformations. They work with a grid and criteria provided by the teacher to solve a sequence with black and white rows.

Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.

Flexagons? What a great way to play with geometry. Kids use the provided template to transform a plain G sheet into a solid G paper toy. The resource even comes with an instructional video and illustrations.

Facilitate creativity in your math class as individuals learn the definition of a geometric reflection and correctly construct a model, as well as its reflected image. They use a perpendicular bisector and circles to elaborate on...
