Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Middle schoolers solve and identify 10 different problems that include transformations and identifying translations. They determine if each figure is an example of a translation and explain how each figure may or may not be a...

Students discover rules for single transformations, rules for composition of transformations, when a figure has transformation symmetry, and if a transformation is congruent to its preimage.

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

Mathematicians utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. They visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used...

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.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

In this transformation worksheet students compare given pairs of pictures and identify those that are examples of a reflection. This one-page worksheet contains ten pictures.

Why can we see our reflection in a window but not a brick wall? Young physicists learn the Law of Reflection and various light properties that help them answer this and other questions about reflection. Use the PowerPoint to introduce...

Elementary school physical scientists explore kinetic mechanical energy by dropping a golf ball on different surfaces. They discuss how human made materials might react to light differently from nature made materials. This lesson plan...

Students perform transformations on their graphs. For this algebra lesson, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

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 perform reflections of polygons. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to calculate the reflection across the x and y axis. They also calculate rotation representing 90 and 180 degrees around the origin of the coordinate...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Students explore what happens when geometric figures are transformed on the coordinate plane. They work in pairs, moving geometric shapes in the plane, and formalize their rules as functions.

Students examine the difference between social change and social transformation. they learn through discussion in order to be able to research and analyze a systematic social injustice. Students identify their part in a wider social...

In this recognizing reflection, translation, and rotation of figures worksheet, students observe figures on grid paper, and read and follow directions to reflect, translate, and rotate them. Students solve 3 problems.

Tenth graders identify and analyze appropriate key vocabulary terms associated with transformations and reflection. Students experience creating and recognizing reflection with hands-on manipulations. Students discover real-world...

Students explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Students study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students discuss vertical,...

In this geometric transformations learning exercise, 4th graders choose how three shapes have been transformed, either reflected, rotated or translated.

In this identifying transformations worksheet, 3rd graders look at three figures and choose reflected, rotated or translated to indicate how it has been transformed.

For this transformation of alphabet letters worksheet, students choose whether three alphabet letters have been reflected, rotated or translated.

Don't get out of order! Examine the effect of order on a sequence of transformations. Learners perform reflections and translation transformations in sequence. They see that changing the order of the transformations does not always have...
