Transformations Using the Geometer's Sketchpad

For Teachers 8th - 9th
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.

Reflections in the Plane

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
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.

Radial Letters

For Teachers 4th - 6th
This art activity seems simple enough. As a way to introduce radial symmetry, spokes, or rays, learners create an artistic representation demonstrating radial symmetry. They stick a variety of letter stickers on their paper starting in...

Lines of Symmetry

For Teachers 4th
Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.
