Students calculate the area of parallelograms. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify properties of parallelograms and use to to solve problems. They create polygons using Cabri software.

Young scholars investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry activity, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

A triangle rests in quadrant two, from which your class members must draw reflections, both over x=2 and x=-2. This focused exercise strengthens students' skills when it comes to reflection on the coordinate plane.

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

What does slope have to do with lines? Pupils work with lines and determine the slope of the lines informally and with the slope formula. Groups use their knowledge to calculate the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They also...

Graphing by hand does have its advantages. The 19th installment of a 35-part module prompts pupils to use skills from previous lessons to graph exponential and logarithmic functions. They reflect each function type over a diagonal line...

Translating complex numbers is as simple as adding 1, 2, 3. In the ninth lesson 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 what it...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson plan, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The lesson and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Students identify the location of coordinate pairs of an image. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformation and identify the image and pre-image point of location. They apply the concept of fractals to...

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. For this tangrams lesson, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to measurement,...

Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

Students use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...

Pupils identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.

Students identify relation, function, patterns and range. For this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Young scholars investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the...

Students perform translations on different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the real world.

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.
