This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

Provides real world examples of symmetry in architecture, including pictures of each kind of symmetry, examples, acknowledgements, and a bibliography.

Given geometric figures on the coordinate plane, the student will apply the definition of congruence, in terms of rigid transformations, to identify congruent figures. The student will also identify and distinguish between reflectional...

There is exactly one reflection and no rotation that sends the convex quadrilateral ABCD onto itself. What shape(s) could quadrilateral ABCD be? Explain. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

This lesson plan deals with tessellations and their geometric concepts. Upper elementary and middle school students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and culture.

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...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students examine a set of transformations to determine if certain properties (such as associativity and closure) exist for equilateral triangles. Students create tables of...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan examines the mathematical nature of art, tilings and tessellations. Students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and our...

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Learners are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

This site presents information on the three basic transformations of figures in a plane: Reflections, Rotations, and Translations.
