Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Learners examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Learners experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

In this motions in geometry worksheet, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page worksheet contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

Learners examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Fifth graders use pattern blocks and triagular grid paper to reivew shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked if they comprehend what a...

First graders explore different types of Native American shelters. For this Native American homes lesson, 1st graders compare the shapes of shelters used by Native Americans. They build a home using the program "Community Construction...

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers look for the words that are related to the math words used in the practice of geometry. They also practice spelling.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

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

Students complete a chart (KWL) as a pre-assessment, study the history of tessellations (tilings), investigate the properties of tessellations, and make and evaluate photographs of "found tessellations" for a PowerPoint/HyperStudio...

Here is a set of pre-lab, lab, and post-lab lesson plans on plate tectonics. After completing the previous labs on volcanoes and earthquakes, sixth graders use the gained knowledge to explore plate boundaries and the movement of...

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at real world examples of transformations found throughout West Edmonton Mall. The accompanying interactive component asks students to predict transformations through looking at...

This tutorial looks at transformations and investigates how they determine relationships between functions.

Follow the directions at this one page website. You will get lots of practice plotting points on the coordinate grid and experience with transformational geometry.

A lesson plan aiding students in the comprehension and practice of geometric transformations.

Students can use this interactive site to practice various geometric concepts such as rotations, reflections, translations, tesselations and geometric patterns.

At the Food Market there are a lot of shapes. Help Afia find and name the shapes.
