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.

Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. In this transformations lesson, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph paper. Students...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Seventh graders examine force and motion. For this seventh grade mathematics/science lesson, 7th graders collect and analyze data regarding the use of an atlatl to throw a spear. Students describe and analyze the motion which leads to...

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

In this van Allen Radiation Belts learning exercise, students are given the formula for the field line of the Earth's inner magnetic field. Students use this equation to find the polar coordinates of a field line in the van Allen Belts....

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve a word problem sing algebraic equations. They figure put how to unlock a combination lock. There is an answer key with this problem.

Students tour Chandra's top galactic X-ray images. In this Chandra X-Ray Observatory lesson, students play games and complete puzzles based on the Chandra Mission and X-Ray Astronomy. Students listen to pod casts, question an...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve questions that involve rotations, reflections, and dilations.  The one page worksheet contains ten multiple choice questions.  Answers are not provided. 

Discover different dimensions with paper folding. Pupils first read about zero, one, two, and three dimensions, and then learn about the fourth dimension, time. They then use origami to create models of shapes in three dimensions and use...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

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.

This lesson demonstrates how an object can be rotated in space and on a coordinate plane about different points. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Rotating On a Coordinate Plane."

This lesson demonstrates how an object can be rotated in space and on a coordinate plane about different points. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Rotating On a Coordinate Plane."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this tutorial, students learn about the rules that operate in the rotation of 2-D figures on a coordinate grid. Includes video, lots of examples, review...

Students move their cursor in this activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x...

Given a point and a definition of a rotation, plot the rotation on a coordinate plane or identify the coordinates of the rotated point.

This one page website lets you practice plotting points on the coordinate grid. See if you can find the missing coordinates to complete the shapes. When you are finished the solutions are only a click away.

In this exercise, students practice performing rotations on a coodinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

In this lesson on transformations on coordinate planes, 8th graders explore dilation, translation, reflection, and rotation of shapes within a coordinate plane.

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and a center of a rotation, find the angle for the rotation that maps one figure to the other. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

In this set of questions, students use an interactive tool to rotate objects on a Cartesian grid. Help is available through hints and videos.

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and the definition of a rotation about an arbitrary point, draw the image of that rotation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video,...
