Most adults remember learning about the Pythagorean theorem, but they don't all remember how to use it. The emphasis here is on developing an intuitive understanding of how and when to use the theorem. Young mathematicians explore...

Develop a strategy for finding the area and perimeter of irregular figures. Building on an understanding of finding area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, learners apply the same concepts to composite figures. After...

Explore rigid motion transformations using transparency paper. Learners examine a series of figures and describe the transformations used to create the series. They then use transparency paper to verify their conclusions. 

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Students explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic representations...

Second graders identify horizontal, vertical, and oblique lines on a worksheet after learning them in class. They demonstrate a horizontal line with their arms while saying the word and use their arms with no talking to demonstrate...

Students study and observe the patterns made by the areas of the Sierpinski Triangle. Students use the computer to draw two or three iterations to discover the number patterns. Students complete worksheets based on Geometric Fractals.

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...

In this circles worksheet, learners fill in 6 fill in the blank statements about circles and solve calculate the answers to 13 questions involving different measurements of circles.

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and...

Third graders develop their understanding of the importance of different 2-dimensional shapes by finding real world examples.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about plane shapes with definitions, properties, types, solved examples, and practice questions.

In this series of STEAM activities, students will discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences. Another activity in this module will allow students to identify shapes by applying...

These activities will allow students to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

This task challenges a students knowledge of 2-dimensional geometrical shapes to sort shapes and to design a shape that has a given set of attributes.

This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the attributes of two-dimensional shapes.

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of geometrical attributes to identify and describe shapes.

Kyan is an African villager. Can you help him name and define different parts of shapes?

Students work in groups to build their own kite. The activity explores estimation, geometry, measurement, and patterns. The resource consists of a lesson plan, group activity instructions, lesson overview, and an expert page.

In this exercise, students practice identifying shapes on the coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Explore the process that changes the shape, size or position of a figure to create a new image, transformations.
