First drafted in the year 996, The Pillow Book contains reflections of those met by a lady-in-waiting in the Japanese court. A brief summary, historical context, and discussion questions are provided on the first two pages. Then, two...

Students examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

Third graders demonstrate their mathematical knowledge of symmetry and reflection using congruent geometric shapes while working as an artist and mathematician looking at a medieval-styled stained glass window.

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

In this transformations learning exercise, students sketch transformations of given graphs in four problems.  In one of these problems students match graphs to equations.
