Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students use poetry to share their feelings about the Holocaust. Using the internet, they research a major event of the twentieth century from a different viewpoint using the language of the foreign country. They use different...

Scholars take transformations from the second to the third dimension as they extend their thinking of transformations to include three-dimensional figures. They explore how to use matrices to represent compositions of...

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...

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry while reviewing...

In this algebra worksheet, students identify different transformations based on the x and y axis reflections. They use vectors to do their translations. There are 28 questions.

Students explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Students find functions to...

Young scholars create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Students solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

In this congruency worksheet, 5th graders complete 4 questions about congruent figures and transformations. Page has links to additional activities.

In this congruency worksheet, students complete problems dealing with congruent and non-congruent figures. Students complete 5 short answer and multiple choice problems.

Young scholars form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the instructional activity which...

NOT A LESSON Students

Students investigate transformations.  In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson, students explore reflections, translations, rotations and dilations.  The lesson includes examples of transformations in art, architecture, and...

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.

In this motions in geometry worksheet, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page worksheet contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.

Students research the history of the quilt in American History and view a PowerPoint Presentation. They create a quilt square with colored paper using polygons, transformations, rotations, and reflections on the computer and on a...

Eleventh graders take notes from lectures on Shakespearean Theatre, Language; kingship, witchcraft and omens, symbolism. Include your reflections as well as copied information (5 pts. per day, must be present).

In this polygons and angles instructional activity, 10th graders complete 5 different questions related to polygons and angles, in addition to symmetry and transformations. First, they define polygon and how they are named. Then,...

Students explore the concept of philanthropy. In this service learning lesson, students reflect upon the lesson that everyone contributes to make a better world as they plan and execute a tikkun olam project of their choosing to help the...

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.
