Students work together with a partnet to design a building. Using materials, they create the inside and outside of the structure along with works of art. They present their creation to the class and receive constructive criticism in return.

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Students try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Students apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain of reasoning.

Students read "Putting on Beowulf" then, in separate groups, choose a segment of Beowulf to perform. They prepare a performance either "live" or on videotape. After listening and watching each performance, Students evaluate each...

Young scholars state the important questions that must be answered through the use of expense records. They design and test a method for recording business expenses.

In this math worksheet, students look for the words that are related to the math words used in the practice of geometry. They also practice spelling.

Students explore and explain how mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may be silent or result in phenotypic change in an organism and in its offspring. They analyze how evolution and biodiversity are the result of genetic changes that...

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.

Contains plans for two lessons that examine different translations of "Beowulf" in order to study the nature of translation and examine the verse structure of the original text. In addition to objectives and standards, this instructional...

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of translations. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It"...

Students will be in groups and plot given points. From the given points the students will plot the appropriate reflection or translation.

Students will discover how to move a function up, down, to the right or left or reflect it.

In this instructional activity, young scholars choreograph a dance figure by creating a dance graph with descriptions of rotation, reflection, and translation; perform it for their classmates; and translate a classmate's dance map into a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Translate, rotate, and reflect figures using coordinate notation and graphing in the coordinate plane.

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

This task uses GeoGebra software, which can be freely downloaded, to explore what happens to the line segments and angles of a triangle when it is reflected, rotated, and translated. Includes printable task sheet for students and a...

Includes rules, examples, and sample problems on 6 different types of translations; vertical and horizontal shift, stretch, and reflection. Uses six basic functions (x, x^2, x^3, 1/x, x^1/2, and abs(x)) throughout examples, which makes...

This site provides everything you need to know about translating graphs. Plenty of examples and charts and very easy to understand.

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

In this lesson on transformations on coordinate planes, 8th graders explore dilation, translation, reflection, and rotation of shapes within a coordinate plane.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transformations move and modify geometric shapes. There are several types of transformations that all transform figures in different ways. These transformations can...

This University of Regina site gives some history and definitions about translations and symmetry.

For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.
