Students complete study on butterflies using real caterpillars, keep individual daily journals of observations, and complete timeline for their caterpillar/butterfly.

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

Students practice a series of communicaton activities. In this communication skills lesson, students role play listening and active listening strategies to improve communication. Students write a set of guidelines for improving...

Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...

Students explain how dogs evolved from wolves based on the video. In this biology lesson, students research about breeding animals for specific traits. They interview dog owners and create a presentation about the dog.

Students examine the Bible, one of the earliest written sources, as a compilation of narratives, and search the resources on the HERITAGE DVD-ROM for historical "proof" as well as create their own stories and scripts based on ancient...

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. In this geometry instructional activity, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine...

Learners identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.

In this congruency instructional activity, 5th graders complete 4 questions about congruent figures and transformations. Page has links to additional activities.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.

Students investigate the geometrical concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They make different observations looking for the concepts that are displayed in classroom items like floor tiles, carpet designs, and visuals hung in...

Learners examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Second graders identify congruent figures and match shapes using transformation. They work in groups, utilizing a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice identifying congruent shapes.

High schoolers observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation...

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

Tenth graders practice using empathy with an enemy.  In this Current Events lesson plan, 10th graders prepare possible peace plans for Bosnia after the war.  Students write a report on Nelson Mandela's use of reconciliation in...

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at real world examples of transformations found throughout West Edmonton Mall. The accompanying interactive component asks students to predict transformations through looking at...

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations, and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

This tutorial looks at transformations and investigates how they determine relationships between functions.
