Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

This PowerPoint provides opportunities for students to explore geometric transformations. Students examine the position of figures in several photographs and identify each pair as reflections, rotations, or translations.

Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...

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 construct tesselations that fosters their ability to create, transform, and critique their own piece of work. This allows them to become aware of repeated patterns in math, and connect these patterns to artwork.

Groups plan their escape carefully. Three three-tiered puzzles help a story character escape their situation, each involving integer sequences, transformations, and geometric constructions. The teacher resource includes...

Slide the class into a skewed view. Learners alter the location of the median relative to the mean of a normal curve to create a skew distribution. They compare the curve to a histogram distribution with the same skewness. 

Students examine transformations. In this math lesson plan, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

Young scholars perform transformations and translation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students move shapes around on a graph identifying translation, image, and transformation. This lesson has an interactive part online...

Young scholars solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

Students transform polygons.  For this tessellating lesson, students design a picture containing a translation and a rotation.  They create a template of a translation or a rotation.  Students tessellate and decorate a...

Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. In this transformations instructional activity, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph...

In this transformations worksheet, 10th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include various types of transformations. First, they label each figure with the correct term listed on the top. Students also identify and...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

Third graders examine plate movements and boundaries with a lab that demonstrates how volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. It presents different types of stresses an object can withstand through a hands-on...

Young scholars investigate geometry with the use of a creative project. They review relevant vocabulary that includes turn, flip, side, and angles. Students also practice conducting transformations used as inspiration for the project....

Students identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, students are challenged to...

Students form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the lesson which provides extension activities and...

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

An unusually challenging Jeopardy-style game is here for your charges. All sorts of high-level algebraic terminology, concepts, and problem solving are embedded in the game. There is even a Final Jeopardy clue. I have found these...

Middle schoolers watch and discuss an M. C. Escher video, use what they have learned to explain and apply their knowledge of tessellations in order to create a slide translation, present their findings in a 12" x 18" poster, and explore...
