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

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

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students take pictures of items related to parent functions around the school. In this parent functions instructional activity, students take photos of an item that has a shape of one of the parent functions that they studied in class....

Young learners listen to the story book The Greedy Triangle as the teacher introduces new polygon shapes. They use geometric stencils to trace a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octogon onto a foldable notepad....

Obesity is a worldwide concern. Using survey results, learners compare local BMI statistics to celebrity BMI statistics. Scholars create box plots of the data, make observations about the shape and spread of the data, and examine the...

Second graders identify congruent figures and match shapes using transformation. They work in groups, utilizing a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice identifying congruent shapes.

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

The student will use the transformations - rotation, reflection, translation - to create common shapes from tangram pattern blocks

In this activity the teacher will send two lists, a window range, and an educational document via the TI-Navigator. Students will explore the reflections and rotations of a shape in the rectangular coordinate system.

In this activity, students describe how to move a shape from one place to another in a plane. They learn about translations, rotations, and line reflections. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Using TI-Interactive, students will discover how the variables of a, h, and k in the vertex form of a quadratic function affect the size, shape and location of the parabola. During the lesson students will write quadratic functions when...

Students practice with the parameters of the vertex form of the parabola and their effect on the shape of the curve. They use this concept to find a quadratic model. They also use translation and dilation to change the general parabola.

This hands-on lesson uses exploration and discovery to help students determine the coordinates of the vertices of various figures when translated, rotated, or reflected in a coordinate plane. The exploration phase will access students'...

Students will learn how to stretch or shrink a graph vertically.

In this activity, students will explore the properties of rotations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

Students can use the Transform app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in...
