This PowerPoint provides opportunities for students to explore geometric transformations. Students examine the position of figures in several photographs and identify each pair as reflections, rotations, or translations.

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

Students use video and the Internet to identify examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in the world around them. They create symmetrical reflection designs using pattern blocks and paper.

Students identify polygons and develop spatial and fractional relationships and geometric concepts by using ancient Chinese puzzle of tangrams. They develop an appreciation of the folktale by identifying its elements and then writing...

In this math worksheet, learners explore reflective symmetry by completing 15 problems. Students examine a figure which is drawn on a dot grid and draw a reflection of each. There is one example already completed.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Transform your lesson plan on transformations. Learners use given congruent triangles and tracing paper to determine the single transformation that carries one to the other. The concept is extended to combinations of transformations...

Flip, turn, and slide about the coordinate plane. Pupils define the rigid motions and experiment with them before determining the relationships of the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The sixth unit in a nine-part series...

Combine transformations and triangle congruence in a single activity. Scholars learn to view congruent triangles as a rigid transformation. Using triangle congruence criteria, learners identify congruent triangles and the rigid...

Learners 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.

Compare and contrast the four types of transformations through constructions! Individuals are expected to construct the each of the different transformations. Although meant for a review, these examples are excellent for initial...

Use this geometry worksheet to have learners answer ten multiple choice questions based on their knowledge of transforming congruent figures.

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...

Use this transformations learning exercise to have learners describe given transformations. They identify rotations, reflections, and congruent images. This two-page learning exercise contains three multi-step problems.

Young scholars examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Young scholars practice making transformations with shapes.

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

In this transformations worksheet, students sketch transformations of given graphs in four problems.  In one of these problems students match graphs to equations.

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

Third graders demonstrate their mathematical knowledge of symmetry and reflection using congruent geometric shapes while working as an artist and mathematician looking at a medieval-styled stained glass window.

Students compare/contrast paintings with similar subjects and themes. They discuss how a painting may relate to life experiences. Students draw animal families and compose a story about a painting by Gerome. They discuss zoos and...

Students study and verbalize positive qualities about themselves and others. They work on interpersonal skills by encouraging others and finally they reflect and evaluate on how their behavior affects others.

Learners research their family traditions. They select a tradition that has meaning to them and write about the traditions. They retell the story to a partner and add details. They write a draft of their story to a partner and...

In this reflection of point worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems related to various points reflection. First, they determine the image at the point given under a point of reflection. Then, students determine if an image...

For this reflection worksheet, students reflect the shapes in the mirror lines and draw them on the other side. They complete 2 drawings. The answers are on the last page.
