Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out....

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson plan, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that...

Learn how to solve problems with transformation. Students perform transformation on their graphs. Then, they use the TI to create a visual of the graph as it is moving along the graph.

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. For this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Students perform transformations on their graphs. In this algebra lesson, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

Teach your class how to transform a graph! By identifying the domain and range of the functions, students can observe the parabola and find the vertex of the transformed graph.

Students perform reflections of polygons. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to calculate the reflection across the x and y axis. They also calculate rotation representing 90 and 180 degrees around the origin of the coordinate...

Students expand their thinking while investigating shape and design. In this early childhood lesson plan, students transform a geometric shape into another shape or design to develop math and creative-thinking skills.

Students define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry activity, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.

Perform transformations on exponential functions! Teach your class how to perform dilation, compression, and translation. They graph exponential functions using the TI Calculator.

Using the TI calculator to visualize and make predictions, young scholars perform transformation vertically and horizontally on logarithmic graphs in order to solve problems.

In this electrical circuit learning exercise, students answer a series of 19 questions by analyzing schematics dealing with the transformers. Students will determine the amount of impedance to various scenarios.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Middle schoolers construct a three-dimensional model of a city using both similar and congruent figures and geometric transformations. City must have at least ten buildings with each building labeled and may be constructed out of paper...

Use the distributive property to solve equations. The sixth lesson in a 33-part series has scholars solve equations that need to be transformed into simpler equations first. Class members apply the distributive property to the equations...
