Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Young geometers investigate two-dimensional figures using coordinate grids. They identify polygons and draw examples of their reflection, rotation, and translation on a coordinate grid. And they complete a worksheet practicing examples...

Pupils examine transformations. For this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Pupils practice making transformations with shapes.

Here is a study guide on transformations that includes reflections, translations, dilations, and rotations. It also has definitions, helpful diagrams, and several examples involving transformations on the coordinate plane. The lesson...

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

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

Young mathematicians investigate the use of symmetry in graphic design. After first learning about reflection, translational, and rotational symmetry, children use this new knowledge to identify symmetry in letters of the...
