In this rigid transformation activity, students follow directions to translate, reflect or rotate a figure in a coordinate plane. Examples and explanations are provided at the beginning of the document. This two-page activity contains 16...

For this plane or plain worksheet, students choose the correct word to complete each sentence. Students choose plane or plain for 8 sentences.

For this area worksheet, students find the area of ten figures that are drawn on a coordinate grid. Five of the shapes are triangles. Five shapes are irregular quadrilaterals.

In this shape capture game worksheet, 8th graders work in pairs to plot quadrilaterals, then guess ordered pairs for each other's shape in order to locate the vertices on the grid;  can be used with other shape as well.

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

Does it matter how many points to dilate? The resource presents problems of dilating curved figures. Class members find out that not only do they need to dilate several points but the points need to be distributed about the entire curve...

In this plane figures worksheet, students answer questions about the plane figures and their sides and corners. Students draw pictures to help them answer the six problems.

In this solid figures worksheet, students read the word problems about the solid figures and find the figure that follows the rule.

Develop a model for a hanging chain. Pupils find a mathematical model for a hanging chain and then they compare their models to the precise function that models the curve. Scholars come up with a strategy to determine how close...

Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

In this tessellations instructional activity, 10th graders solve 6 different types of tessellation problems that includes drawing. First, they define polygon, regular polygon, tessellation, regular tessellation, and semi-regular...

In this patterning worksheet, 1st graders complete 4 patterns that are formed of black line pictures of plane figures. They trace the figures in the first example and draw the figure that complete the patterns in the last 3.

In this shoelace algorithm learning exercise, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

In this polygons learning exercise, 10th graders identify and define both a polygon and a convex polygon and then, they apply two theorems that involve the interior and exterior angles of a convex polygon. First, they find the sum of the...

In this geometry worksheet, learners choose the multiple choice answer to 15 questions involving several different elements of geometry.

In this spatial relations worksheet, learners identify the number of triangles in a given figure, identify the number of cubes that a plane intersects, and determine the number of line segments in a given cube. This three-page worksheet...

In this rotational symmetry worksheet, 10th graders identify and compare 10 different figures illustrated on the sheet. They write the order of rotational symmetry seen in each figure as compared to the others. They also define an object...

In this tessellations and transformations worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 different problems that include various types of tessellations. First, they write examples from history of tessellations and name 3 artists. Then, students define...

In this effect of transformations on coordinates learning exercise, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

In this polygons worksheet, 4th graders identify and name the 4 polygons drawn on the bottom of the worksheet and then draw a triangle, hexagon and a quadrilateral.

Just exactly where does the name conic come from? This brief hands-on exploration explains it all. Have your class cut cones to create their own conics, then assess their understanding with a few identification problems. Consider making...

In this math worksheet, students practice their skills in constructing reflections of shapes that are on a grid. This worksheet has 13 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.
