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.

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...

Encourage your scholars to play with math using this shapes partner game, where players toss a number cube (possibly a die) to determine which geometric shape to draw. The students toss the cube a second time to determine whether they...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Second graders manipulate triangles to discover the concepts of slides, flips and turns of a geometric shape.

Fifth graders manipulate and draw shapes to demonstrate the concept of flips, slides, and turns using letters and arrows on graph paper.

Flip, turn, and slide about the coordinate plane. Pupils define the rigid motions and experiment with them before determining the relationships of the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The sixth unit in a nine-part series...

The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

A list of instructions for this exciting Geometry Jeopardy game is included on slide 2. There are a total of 25 clues and 5 categories, including: solids, triangles, lines, angles, and grab bag. Tip: Play this Jeopardy game with your...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency lesson, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

Students discuss tangram vocabulary, and act out slide, flip, and turn. They observe tangram puzzles on a web page, and solve their own tangram puzzles.

Second graders discuss what a line of symmetry is, then demonstrate how to fold shape cutouts to generate lines of symmetry. They demonstrate slides, flips, and turns with objects, and write explanations of changes they observe in pictures.

Demonstrate and discuss the three types of transformations: rotation, reflection, and translation. Participate in a game which helps to reinforce and practice what they learned. Groups work collaboratively to complete the game.

Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

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

Transformations are more than the process in which sports cars become fighting robots. Listed in terms of which transformations give congruent or similar figures, several resources provide definitions and examples of the four...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This lesson plan gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...
