Focusing on Doppo's "Unforgettable People" and late nineteenth century Japanese literature, this resource also leads to discussions of form being dictated by content. Explore the development of new literary styles first-hand by...

Hace calor! Use hand signals to accompany weather-related vocabulary. Learners will remember the vocabulary better! They'll then research weather around the world and record it on a chart provided. Add a math component to this plan by...

Can art play tricks on your eyes, and can a still painting really appear to vibrate? The second lesson in a four-part series discusses the way our beautiful brains translate visual images. It highlights the style of optical art and...

Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. For this transformations lesson, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph paper. Students...

Students explore how some tilings can display rotational and/or reflection symmetry in addition to translational symmetry. Students demonstrate how these tilings can be generated using either one of the symmetry concepts and Zome System...

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that involve linear equations. They substitute the values given for each variable.

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.

In this math worksheet, learners use pictures of hands, bears, and cartoon characters to review geometrical terms including reflections and rotations.

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.

Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

Learners investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals hung in...

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers find the points on the Cartesian plane. The graphs use the color green and red to differentiate the positive and negative points.

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.

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

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.

Students explore the graphing calculator feature on the Macintosh computer to explore some "parent" functions and their translations, combinations, and composites.

Ninth graders translate sentences into equations. They translate equations into sentences. They solve real life problems using verbal models to write equations. They create a problem solution graphic organizer in their journals.

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. For this geometry lesson, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the...

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph linear equations after they rewrite the equation using algebra. They relate math to the real world.

Students recognize patterns and sequences in numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students create rules to define the sequences and patterns they obsere. They translate coded messages as they dicuss navigational terms.

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding symmetry. Students may view the correct answers.

Students conduct a survey. In this math lesson, students design and conduct a survey about Thanksgiving foods. Students display the collected data in a graph and use the graph to determine what food to serve for a Thanksgiving meal.

In this algebra worksheet, students evaluate equations, identify the inverse of numbers, translate words into a number sentence, compare expressions, and solve radicals. This six page worksheet contains a variety of 67 problems.

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy.
