Encourage your scholars to play with math using this shapes partner game, where players toss a number cube (possibly a die) to determine which geometric shape to draw. The students toss the cube a second time to determine whether they...

Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...

Demonstrate and discuss the three types of transformations: rotation, reflection, and translation. Participate in a game which helps to reinforce and practice what they learned. Groups work collaboratively to complete the game.

Here are four questions which require learners to examine four pairs of visual analogies and then choose a figure that completes a missing part of an analogy that is the same as the one shown. They then get to create their own visual...

In this math worksheet, students 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.

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Learners explore tangrams. In this tangrams instructional activity, students read Three Pigs, One Wolf, and Seven Magic Shapes and then complete a WebQuest on tangrams. Learners explore shapes and rotation during the WebQuest and create...

Young scholars use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

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.

Students explore slides, flips, and turns in this interactive web lesson.
