Rotation Teacher Resources

Students, in groups, visit an exhibit and for a prairie scavenger hunt to locate sunflowers and name products made from them. After sketching a prairie dog, they find nature cues farmers use when growing plants and raising animals. The...

In this social studies worksheet, students identify and locate vocabulary terms related to the Industrial Revolution and industrialization. There are 36 words located in the puzzle.

In this eclipses worksheet, students write in the 4 steps explaining how an eclipse occurs. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this body movements worksheet, students see pictures of 14 body movements such as abduction and adduction, inversion and eversion, flexion and extension and pronation and supination.

In this calculus worksheet, learners figure out the volume of an area under the curve rotated about the x and y axis. There are 2 questions on this worksheet with various sub-section.

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Learners perform reflections and translations of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform reflection in two parallel lines. They use Cabri to observe the transformation and rotations of each shape.

Young scholars create tessellations. In this geometry instructional activity, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Students create a tessellations using rotation and translation. They also create a tessellation using reflection.

Students extend their understanding of convection to consider global winds and the effect of the earth's rotation on the creation of patterns of prevailing wind direction.

Students explore, examine and study the symmetry of the flags of individual countries in the EU. They identify and describe the reflection and rotation symmetries of two-dimensional shapes and assess how symmetry changes with respect to...

In this geometry learning exercise, students identify the different measure of each angle. They rotate the rays around and make observations about the angles formed. There are 15 questions and lots of examples.

Students identify the different symmetry in polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify line, rotational and point symmetry in different objects. They find the symmetry with 90% accuracy.

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Fifth graders observe and demonstrate basic volleyball skills by participating in a volleyball clinic. In small groups, they rotate around to different volleyball stations, observing and demonstrating setting, forearm pass, overhand...

Students explore the rotation of the Earth and observe the shapes of constellations. After discussing how the Earth moves. volunteers use a flashlight and globe to model the movement of the sun-Earth system. Using Digitalis technology,...

Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

In this geometry instructional activity students rotate, reflect, and translate geometric shapes. The four page instructional activity contains seventeen problems  Solutions are not provided. 

Pupils explore Fractal designs. For this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.

Young scholars share their science expertise with elementary students in a conference format. Elementary young scholars rotate through sessions of different science disciplines (Biology, Earth Science, Physics, Chemistry, Computers).

Third graders describe patterns in terms of reflection and rotation symmetry, and translations. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. They demonstrate why a given tessellation covers the...

Students create an art piece incorporating tessellating shapes, translational symmetry, reflectional symmetry,and or rotational symmetry. They are asked if they know the definition of tessellation. If so, students are asked what shapes...

Students perform an experiment with different sizes of followers (from an easy to follow set of teacher directions) and record their observations. They test the rotations of the driver compared to the rotations of a follower and put the...
