How hard can it be to split something in half? Learners investigate how previously learned concepts from angle bisectors can be used to develop ways to construct perpendicular bisectors. The resource also covers constructing a...

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....

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

Students investigate and perform reflections and symmetry. In this geometry instructional activity, students compare and contrast the relationship between reflections and symmetries.

In this graphing quadratic equations worksheet, students find the vertex and graph the parabola for 24 quadratic equations. The final four are factored into binomials to increase accuracy of the x intercepts.

Starting with the basics, learners discover the features of a parabola and the ways to accurately graph it. After pupils practice with graphing, the end of the worksheet focuses on application type problems. 

Full of problems with polygons, angles, lines, and triangles, your learners get a multi-page packet that provides all they need to know. It contains many of the standard problem types as well as some more challenging questions. 

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.

Students explore the architecture of New England by identifying geometric shapes.  In this architectural lesson, students examine photographs of classic building architecture and use a transparency to trace geometric shapes they...

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...

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

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

Fifth graders apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons and use fractions to express the relationships between the areas of rectangles, squares, and triangles. They analyze various country flags and develop mathematical...

Ninth graders discuss the different forms of equations. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders talk about the pros and cons of algebraic equations. They discuss reflection across the x and y axis and write out the equation of the given...

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

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...

For this algebra worksheet, 11th graders graph parabolas using the vertex and axis of symmetry. They apply parabolas to word problems as it applies to paths taken. There are 4 problems with an answer key.

Experiment with your very own printmaking blocks using foam sheets! Your class can create a beautiful pattern on their stamp with various shapes, symmetrical or not. Printing these might resemble Italian or Spanish tile patterns, or a...

In this algebra instructional activity, students graph quadratic functions and identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum and minimum and intercepts. There are 7 questions.

Students investigate parabolas and their equations.  In this parabolas and their equations lesson plan, students graph quadratic equations on their graphing calculator.  Students find the axis of symmetry of a parabola. ...

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. 

The task, should your class decide to take it, is to list a series of reflections that transfer a line segment from one position to another. 

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....
