No need to change anything about the resource. The first of eight modules in the MVP Geometry unit focuses on transformations in the coordinate plane. It connects translations, rotations, and reflections to congruence, symmetry, and...

Find ways to spin a figure without it looking like it was rotating. The segment of a large geometry playlist introduces the idea of rotational symmetry. Using presentation tools, the presenter demonstrates whether particular figures have...

What's up is down and what's down is up. Pupils apply rotations about the origin and reflections over the x-axis, y-axis, and the line y = x to graphs of functions in the coordinate plane. The exercise helps them identify even and odd...

Lift—it is about the wing's attack. Using a virtual wind tunnel, pupils investigate wing shape and angle of attack. Learners use worksheets to record their observations and to convert verbal relationships into mathematical equations in...

Symmetry is a natural thing. The video introduces the concept of reflection symmetry using a smiley face and a pentagon. Using pictures from nature, the installment of an extensive geometry playlist determines whether the object has...

Adding a rectangle increases the number of moves. Pupils extend their understanding of algebraic properties in the last lesson of two on algebraic transformations. Working in groups, learners determine the results of performing two...

Transform the commutative property. Pupils perform transformations on a rectangle and record the results. By comparing the results, they develop an understanding of the commutative property to finish the first activity in a series on...

It does not divide into 360 evenly, so it cannot work. The resource extends pupils' thinking about rotational symmetry. By asking for a figure with a rotational symmetry of a seemingly impossible angle, the activity requires learners to...

Can you determine a function's graph without actually graphing the function? Scholars learn to identify the shape of the graphs of different function types based solely on their equations. They also study the symmetry of graphs.

The radical reactions of polymers seems abstract to many pupils, but this instructional activity turns them into a fun building game. Scholars use dice and building pieces to build polymers. Then, they determine the theoretical and...

Even, odd, or neither? Pupils study even and odd functions using a well-balanced interactive. They determine whether a given function is even or odd from its graph.

Even money states that the resource is good to use. Scholars manipulate an interactive to adjust the portion of a graph to the left of the y-axis. The interactive allows them to switch between even and odd modes that show the right side...

Look for a pattern among flips and turns. Individuals manipulate a colored plus sign using one or two transformations. The interactive allows for rotations in quarter turn increments and vertical, horizontal, and diagonal reflections....

Deepen understanding of quadratic functions with a well-designed lesson. By combining function notation, quadratic functions, and symmetry, learners make conclusions about different scenarios. They then critique others' methods and...

Further your instruction on geometrical symmetry with an investigation of circles. Fourth graders come to realize that the lines of symmetry of a circle are infinite.

Pupils compare histograms of test scores of two data sets. The scholars describe any similarities and differences of the distributions, paying attention to shape, center, and spread. In the process, the learners determine which set of...

Ready to tackle the concept of symmetry? Show your class a video that combines it with football, and you'll definitely score the extra point! The resource illustrates different types of symmetry and relates it to both muscle memory and...

The 17th installment of a 21-part module investigates symmetry in the coordinate plane. After plotting several examples, scholars develop a rule for the coordinates of a point after reflecting over the x-axis, the y-axis, or both.

The last installment of a 21-part module is an end-of-module assessment. Individuals show their understanding of positive and negative numbers on the number line, absolute value, and the coordinate plane in a variety of contexts.

Now you'll never have trouble cutting a cake evenly again. Here is a set of five problems all about partitioning shapes into a given number of pieces and identifying the fractional amount of each piece. As learners progress through the...

Try five problems on triangles. Levels A and B focus on shapes that can be created from right triangles. Level C touches upon the relationship between the area of a six-pointed star and the area of each triangle of which it is composed....

Math can be a work of art! Reach your artistic pupils as they explore angle measures. A creative set of five problems of varying levels has young learners study interior and exterior angle measures of polygons. The introductory levels...

Investigate the attributes of polygons. A thorough set of lessons presents problem scenarios for elementary through high school classes. The first lessons focus on basic characteristics of polygons, including the line of symmetry. As the...
