Everything the class knows about similarity in one small package. The last portion of a 16-part series is a three-question assessment. In it, pupils demonstrate their application of similar figures and their associated...

Can your classes apply the knowledge they have learned? Use this performance task to find out! Individuals use transformations to explain congruence and angle relationships within parallel lines to find missing values. They show what...

Define parallel lines through transformations. The third instructional activity of 18 examines the result of the translation of a line. Two possible outcomes include coinciding lines and parallel lines.

Problem solve across the content standards. The presentation slides provide 19 sample items from the Smarter Balanced high school assessment. Items illustrate Claim 2, problem solving, of the test and are drawn from all the high school...

Communication is the key. A dozen sample items require scholars to communicate their reasoning involved in arriving at a solution. The PowerPoint from the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series uses a variety of content to...

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

In this graph transforms worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they evaluate each function and sketch the graph. Then, 10th graders determine why two transformation illustrated are identical for...

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...

In this transformations worksheet, students observe the errors in the reflection of a picture.  They determine the number of transformations needed to complete a grid.  Students perform reflections according to directions and...

In this transformations and congruence activity, 10th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they calculate the length of a line giving their answer in 3 significant figures. Then, students prove that two...

In this transformations activity, students solve 25 short answer problems.  Kids dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  Students determine scale factors and lines of symmetry of figures.

This amazingly extensive unit covers a wealth of geometric ground, ranging from constructions to angle properties, triangle theorems, rigid transformations, and fundamentals of formal proofs.  Each of the almost-forty lessons...

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Students extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

Middle schoolers solve and identify 10 different problems that include transformations and identifying translations. They determine if each figure is an example of a translation and explain how each figure may or may not be a...

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...

Learners 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 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 transforming parent functions worksheet, learners solve 4 multiple choice problems. Students describe the transformation of the power and logarithmic parent functions.

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. ...

Does complex number multiplication have the class spinning? Here's a resource that helps pupils explore and discover the geometric effect of multiplying complex numbers. In the 14th installment in the 32-part unit groups look at the unit...
