Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

The last installment of a 21-part module is an end-of-module assessment. Individuals show their understanding of positive and negative numbers on the number line, absolute value, and the coordinate plane in a variety of contexts.

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...

Learners define and discuss symmetry, line of symmetry, and congruency. They cut shapes out of construction paper, identify the line of symmetry, and if they are symmetrical and/or congruent.

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.

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.

Whether studying metaphors or Greek mythology, this labyrinth project is a fantastic lesson plan to add to your unit. It includes two versions of the labyrinth; making it with yarn or stone. If your materials are limited, you can even...

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

In this algebra worksheets, students find the inverse of a given function by switching the y with the x. They graph the different functions and identify the difference. This worksheet includes thoughtful questions and worked examples.

For this using pattern blocks to create a design worksheet, students read and apply criteria to create a design with pattern blocks, trace it, and draw lines of symmetry. Students complete four pattern block activities.

In this congruence statements worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they complete each congruence statement listed. Then, students graph each set of points on the coordinate plane provided. They...

In this polygons activity, students read about and complete many activities involving triangles, angles, and symmetry. Students complete 17 pages of activities.

Young scholars explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool instructional activity, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Young scholars identify and...

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. 

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

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.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson plan and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Sixth graders investigate tessellations and their origins. Students trace triangles to form a tessellation. They measure the angle of equilateral triangles. Students locate the line of symmetry, they create geometric squares,...

A set of 49 math vocabulary cards ranges from angle to irregular polygon to parallel lines. Each sheet contains two cards: one with the word printed in bold text and the other with the definition.
