Young geometers flex their transformation muscles in this brief but powerful exercise using dilations and translations to develop the similarity of circles. The plan provides guidelines to help learners navigate a pair of...

Augment a unit on parabolas with an instructive math activity. Pupils graph parabolas by examining the relationship between the focus and directrix. 

Pupils multiply the vertical and horizontal distances from the center of dilation by the scale factor. The independent practice prompts the class to analyze the relationship between the image and pre-image. The lesson is...

Don't cry over broken pottery. A cross-curricular lesson challenges pupils to consider how to restore ancient pottery. Using a computer program and their knowledge of transformations, they come up with a way to recreate the original...

In this glide reflection learning exercise, students draw and answer questions about reflections of different shapes. Students answer 5 questions.

Learners 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...

In this line reflections worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include determining different line reflections in images. They identify the line reflections in each of the illustrations shown on the sheet. Then,...

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

For this transformations worksheet, students solve 5 multi-part short answer problems. Students transform images by reflecting them over a line or a point.  Students find the line and/or point symmetry of various figures.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

This PowerPoint provides opportunities for students to explore geometric transformations. Students examine the position of figures in several photographs and identify each pair as reflections, rotations, or translations.

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.

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...

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

Students compare bacteria and viruses and their roles in biotechnology and bioterrorism. They outline fundamental steps of bacterial transformation and the possible selection processes to identify transformants. They discuss...

A trip around the world sounds nice, but for now we'll just have to make do with Google Earth. Pupils use pictures of landmarks to apply geometry concepts. They determine whether each building has bilateral or rotational symmetry, search...

Use a one-stop resource for everything you'd possibly want to teach about quadratic functions and models. Scholars analyze key features of quadratic functions as well as transformations of functions through seven activities....

Launch a discussion of the creative process with a short video that features the daily ritual of Slobodan Dan Paich, a San Francisco artist. Slobodan models his approach to tea painting and shares his reflections on the...

Help your students develop a growth mindset with a list of sample strategies for prioritizing efforts instead of results.Pupils learn how to embrace mistakes, set high expectations, and focus on process over product.

Students investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...
