Students complete a unit about transformations and tessellations. They explore various tessellation websites, determine which shapes tessellate, complete a log about which website activities they complete, and create a tessellation...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Reflections are the geometric mirror. Pupils explore this concept as they discover the properties of reflections. They focus on the coordinates of the reflections and look for patterns. This is the third instructional activity in a...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Function notation is like a code waiting to be cracked. Learners take the graph of an unknown equation and manipulate it based on three different transformation changes of the function equation. The final step is to look at three points...

Don't get out of order! Examine the effect of order on a sequence of transformations. Learners perform reflections and translation transformations in sequence. They see that changing the order of the transformations does not always have...

Scholars take transformations from the second to the third dimension as they extend their thinking of transformations to include three-dimensional figures. They explore how to use matrices to represent compositions of...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Uncover the properties of translations through this exploratory activity. Learners apply vectors to describe and verify transformations in the second installment of a series of 18. It provides multiple opportunities to practice this...

In this transformations worksheet, students sketch functions with shifts and reflections. The original functions and space for the graphs are provided.

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

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

Students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. They review transformations of quadratic functions-vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks. Students match the symbolic form of the function to...

Dive into an activity that may cause a little reflection! Building from the first lesson in the series of two, learners explore transformation using unfamiliar functions. The key takeaway is that applying transformations to any function...

Practice symmetry and patterns with this Mid-Eastern art project. Your class will create beautiful, reflective mosaics that will brighten up the classroom! A list of necessary materials is included.

Why is that graph wider? Pupils learn about stretching and shrinking graphs of square root, absolute value, cubic, and quadratic functions. They study both vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks in addition to reflections. 

Graphing by hand does have its advantages. The 19th installment of a 35-part module prompts pupils to use skills from previous lessons to graph exponential and logarithmic functions. They reflect each function type over a diagonal line...

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

For any study of upper-level geometry, this presentation could be of good use. It defines three important concepts: transformation, reflection, and rotation. Although brief, this presentation could easily be used in tandem with problems...

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

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

To make the point that there are many forms of language, each with its own purpose, class members select 10 lines from Doescher's play, translate these lines first into contemporary English and then into "SMS/Tweet." 

Your learners collaboratively find the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle using rigid transformations and symmetry. Through congruence proofs they show that they understand congruence in terms of rigid motions as they...

Examine the various rigid transformations and recognize sequences of these transformations. The lesson asks learners to perform sequences of rotations, reflections, and translations. Individuals also describe a sequence that results in...
