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.

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.

It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are translated in the coordinate plane. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart was designed to introduce fourth grade students to transformations in geometry. It includes translations, reflections, and rotations.

In this exercise, students practice performing translations on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify and describe transformations in the coordinate plane.

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

Mangbetu art shows the use of all four geometric transforms: Reflection, Translation, Rotation, and Scaling. This website will provide you with some cultural background on the Mangbetu and their art. The software will allow you to...

This lesson plan reviews transformations in the coordinate plane while mimicking real-world planning skills. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extention as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant learners.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn how to translate a figure. They examine guided notes, review examples, watch instructional videos, and try practice problems.

[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.

[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...

Students show comprehension of advanced mathematics skills in Geometry. The questions check understanding on transformational geometry. Topics include translations, symmetry, and rotations.

Given two figures on the coordinate plane, find the formal definition of the translation that takes one figure to another. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or...

Explains how simple polygons translate into matrices and how to use 2x2 matrices to represent transformations in a plane. Includes video demonstrating an example where a vector must be rotated 90 degrees using matrices. [4:18]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students explore composite transformations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice...

This lesson will present how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane, and will discuss how the properties of the figure are affected. It is 1 of 5 in the series titled "Translations of Geometric Figures."

This lesson will present how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane, and will discuss how the properties of the figure are affected. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Translations of Geometric Figures."

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

Young scholars are introduced to translations, reflections, and rotations and how to explore them in real-world scenarios.

In this activity, students describe how to move a shape from one place to another in a plane. They learn about translations, rotations, and line reflections. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
