Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

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...

This resource guides young geometers to create new polygons from others of equal area, compare an image to its reflection and find errors, conduct repeated reflections, map translations, and determine center of rotation. No solutions are...

Geometric transformations in algebra ... what? Given four transformations, the narrator explains how each affect the graph of the original function. The transformations involve translations and reflections, both horizontally and...

Five questions go along with your reading of "Reflections" by Janet Chuang. The story is not included, but these questions encourage thoughtful reflection on the plot and literary devices used.

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Young scholars repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

In this transformations activity, students copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Students finish with two test prep...

In this transformations instructional activity, high schoolers solve 25 short answer problems.  Students dilate, reflect, and translate points and figures in the coordinate plane.  High schoolers determine scale factors and...

Review for the test with a comprehensive list of terms and concepts for the unit on congruence and similarity. It divides divides the sections in the order of the lessons presented during the unit. 

Translating complex numbers is as simple as adding 1, 2, 3. In the ninth lesson plan in a 32-part series, the class takes a deeper look at the geometric effect of adding and subtracting complex numbers. The resource leads pupils into...

Five pages for geometry practice relating to symmetry provide mathematicians with exercises on transformations and symmetry, properties of isometries, compositions of transformations, tessellations with regular polygons, and other...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

A pre-test contains questions about transformations that lead to congruent and similar images. It also covers angle relationships associated with triangles and parallel lines intersected by a transversal. 

It's time for a concept check! Check for student understanding over the three types of rigid transformations. The assessment follows the first 10 lessons in this series and to test pupils' proficiency of these concepts. Individuals...

In this transformation worksheet, 5th graders determine if a pair of figures are related by a slide, flip, or turn. The worksheet reviews rotation, reflection, and translation.

In this reflections and symmetry worksheet, students draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Learners consider a set of questions to determine a series of transformations that will move one figure to another. Once the series is determined, the pupil then determines whether the pre-image and image are either congruent...

Function notation is like a code waiting to be cracked. Learners take the graph of an unknown equation and manipulate it based on three different transformation changes of the function equation. The final step is to look at three points...

For this rotations worksheet, students complete problems having to do with shapes and their rotations, reflections, symmetry, translations, and more. Students complete 6 problems.

Working with transformations allows the class to take a turn for the better. The short assessment has class members perform transformations on the coordinate plane. The translations, reflections, and rotations create pattern designs on...

Learners first create designs for greeting cards by applying transformations of shapes on a coordinate plane, and then determine a sequence of transformations that produces a given design.

For this reflections worksheet, middle schoolers reflect three sided and four sided shapes across a graph. Students complete 6 reflection problems.

In this reflections worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 34 different problems that include determining various reflections. First, they trace the figure and draw its reflection in each line. Then, 10th graders use the diagram...
