Students explore the symmetries of an equilateral triangle. In this lesson on symmetry, students determine the composition of given equilateral triangles using both rotational and reflectional symmetries.

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

Even money states that the resource is good to use. Scholars manipulate an interactive to adjust the portion of a graph to the left of the y-axis. The interactive allows them to switch between even and odd modes that show the right side...

In this reflections and symmetry instructional activity, learners draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Learners investigate the symmetries of a convex quadrilateral in a collaborative activity. Rigid motion and complements are explored as learners analyze different cases of reflections across a line.

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson plan gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Given the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle, your learners find where the pre-image vertices are mapped onto the new image. They explore the properties of equilateral triangles, the impact of reflections, and the...

In this math worksheet, students answer 3 questions about an equilateral triangle. Students then answer 3 questions about isosceles triangles. Students then calculate missing angles on isosceles triangles.

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

Learners create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Students examine the concepts of geometry used by Paul Goble in his book Adopted By The Eagles. After analyzing Mr. Goble's work they create an original piece featuring symmetry, pattern, repetition, and other principles of geometry....

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry while reviewing...

Learners explore mapping a rectangle onto itself using rigid motion concepts, geometric intuition and experimenting with manipulatives in a collaborative task.

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. With a total of forty-eight cards, each are printed in bold font, and include definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include absolute value, ordered...

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

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...

This lesson introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and

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...

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...

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. ...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.
