For this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations.  Using the SMARTboard, young scholars observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph...

In this reflection of shapes worksheet, learners graph images on a coordinate plane. They reflect the image and sketch it on the graph. They write a rule to describe the transformation. This four-page worksheet contains 14 problems....

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Young scholars complete geometrical shapes construction activities. In this geometrical concepts lesson, students cut shapes from a worksheet to create a geometrical study activity. Young scholars analyze their shapes and complete a...

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...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations lesson plan, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with describing...

Acute angle, line of symmetry, and vertex are a few terms you'll find in a set of 90 flashcards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Included in the set are two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a...

Learners identify and create shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students identify various polygons and try to create new shapes using existing polygons.

Fourth graders investigate congruent shapes. In this congruency instructional activity, 4th graders explore examples of congruent shapes. Students determine how to check for congruency by sliding or flipping the shape.

Students create a matrix of the vertices of a triangle and produce new matrices that dilate, translate, rotate, and reflect the original triangle. After multiplying each matrix by a new scale factor, they graph the new matrix and...

Young scholars 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.

Students design their own mix and match animals, using lesson framework that emphasizes transformation, explore differences between clay and model magic, experiment with clay, and shape their animals into 3D sculptures.

Students explore Fractal designs. In 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.

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...

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...

NOT A LESSON Students

Tenth graders identify and interpret vocabulary terms as they relate to vectors. Students practice translations by creating several tessellations. Students determine the direction and distance using vectors. Students use grid paper to...
