Don't just go through the steps to solve an algebraic equation, show learners how to balance an equation with visual models. The packet introduces the idea of mobile balances to reinforce the idea that both sides must match to make the...

It's more than just numbers on a line, its an organizational, mental math machine to help learners understand the value of numbers. The tool is handy when introducing positive and negative integers to see their values and...

This resource guides young geometers to create new polygons from others of equal area, compare an image to its reflection and find errors, conduct repeated reflections, map translations, and determine center of rotation. No solutions are...

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 instructional activity, students identify the pre-image and image. They find and identify congruent shapes and isometry.

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.

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 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.

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.
