Young hydrologists observe a waterwheel which helps them investigate the transformations of energy that occur when the blades of a hydro-turbine are turning. They work together in pairs and pretend to be engineers who are building a new...

Take young geologists on an exploration of the rock cycle with this six-lesson earth science unit on rocks and minerals. Through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on investigations your class will learn...

How do changes in DNA affect an organism? Scholars explore chromosomes, genes, DNA, and mutations by modeling the DNA of a strawberry. They build a DNA model, then manipulate it to show how changing the genes transforms the strawberry...

Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...

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...

Students explore the concept of transformations. For this transformations lesson, students construct an equilateral triangle and a square with a circumscribed circle. Students reflect and rotate their constructions.

In this precalculus learning exercise, learners predict the graph of given functions and draw conclusions about each one. Students define a transformation, and determine the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of given...

Young scholars compare transformations of a quadratic function on a graph and determine equations of a quadratic functions based on a reflection. They graph a transformation of a function based on reflections. They etermine if a function...

In this graphing worksheet, learners predict how a graph of given functions will work. Next, they check their work using a graphing calculator. Students use algebra to complete the graph of a square and determine transformations.

Pupils 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.

Fifth graders use the guess and check technique to solve a problem involving transformations. They work with a grid and criteria provided by the teacher to solve a sequence with black and white rows.

Second graders use mental math in calculations involving addition and subtraction. They study doubles facts to work out addition problems mentally using part and or whole reasoning.

Students perform translation and transformation of functions. In this algebra lesson, students write the formula for the different transformation and graph given translation. They compare the change to the parent function.

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 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...

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

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

Fifth graders, using graphic and word processing software, create geometric patterns by performing elementary transformations.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students perform transformation on linear equations. They identify the slope and y-intercept of each line.

In this writing equations of functions activity, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students write equations of transformed parabolas and absolute value equations given a stretch/shrink factor and vertical horizontal shift.

Learners 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.

Young scholars recognize, describe, and perform transformations (rotation/turn, reflection/flip, and translation/slide) on two dimensional shapes.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this instructional activity, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own...

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math lesson, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.
