Young scholars form repeating patterns using tessellations. In this tessellations instructional activity, students identify shapes and illustrate three types of transformations. A website is included with the instructional activity which...

Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.

Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Young scholars discuss how color construct meaning in art. They will demonstrate a technical knowledge and creative use of formal elements and principals of design. Students then discuss the way their selection of color contributed to...

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

In this triangles and quadrilaterals worksheet, students solve 7 short answer problems. Students find objects around the house that are constructed from triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles. Students sketch the...

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Learners solve linear equations using graphs. For this algebra lesson, students depict real life situation using lines and functions. They identify the slope, data and predict graphing behavior.

Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students about translations and vectors and how to perform translation rules. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognizing translation transformations also called slides. Students can explore the concept of translations by studying notes, watching a video, looking at...

See how geometry software performs geometric translations.

Learn how a translation moves or slides an object a fixed distance in a given direction, as defined by a vector.

Explains, with examples, what a translation is. Includes tutorials and practice activities.

Use the interactive transformation tool to perform translations. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This lesson focuses on wallpaper groups. While there are infinitely many possible patterns, they all have one of just 17 different symmetry groups. These are called the Wallpaper Groups. Every wallpaper group is defined by a combination...

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

Explore transformations of a polygon that include: 1) translation 2) rotation 3) reflection and 4) dilation.
