Students explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic representations...

Students watch and discuss an M. C. Escher video, use what they have learned to explain and apply their knowledge of tessellations in order to create a slide translation, present their findings in a 12" x 18" poster, and explore...

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.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.

Students explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Students study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students discuss vertical,...

In this math worksheet, students practice constructing reflections of shapes already present in a grid-based graph. This simple worksheet has 12 problems for the students to solve, and includes an answer sheet.

Students investigate image and pre-image. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the reflection and rotation of different shape on a coordinate plane. They identify similarities and differences of image and pre-image of a...

Use the coordinate plane to show two figures are similar. The instructional activity incorporates congruence transformations and dilations to move a figure on to another figure. Pupils determine that if a similarity...

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...

In this transformations worksheet, pupils draw the transformations of the triangles and parallelograms in graphs. They complete four drawings.

Pupils practice drawing geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, learners complete an activity that requires them to draw angles and shapes to the nearest degree.

Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...

Middle schoolers will explore frieze patterns. A frieze pattern is a mathematical concept to classify designs on two-dimensional surfaces, which are repetitive in one direction, based on the symmetries in the pattern. They will explore...

In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include various types of transformations. First, they label each figure with the correct term listed on the top. Students also...

Perform reflections and transformations by having your students create glide reflections from translated shapes. They use the TiNavigator to explore transformations.

High Schoolers create a puppet and make predictions using the TI Navigator. In this math lesson, they will discuss their results as they explore transformation. This assignment requires the TI navigator or a smartboard.

Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

Students transform polygons.  For this tessellating lesson, students design a picture containing a translation and a rotation.  They create a template of a translation or a rotation.  Students tessellate and decorate a...

Learners use the CABRI application for their graphing calculator to rotate, translate, and reflect triangles. They use graphing calculators and follow detailed directions to manipulate triangles in specified ways. There are three...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry lesson, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines, angles, and...

Young scholars create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.
