Geometers explore symmetries of isosceles triangles by using rigid transformations of the plane. They complete four tasks, including congruence proofs, which illustrate the relationship between congruence and rigid transformations. The...

Students explore the invertebrate phyla. They discuss the characteristics of the invertebrate Phyla in the Kingdom Animal. Students classify organisms into Phyla based on their characteristics. They distinguish radial symmetry, bilateral...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Students utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and graphs...

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Learners review types of polygons and list several examples of each. They assume the role of a landscape artist interviewing for a job. They create sketches of their plans for six polygonal gardens and write an expository paragraph...

Fourth graders, using KidPix, use stamps and pencil tools to illustrate which pictures have symmetry. They add text boxes to explain their answers in math terms. Students practice skills in rotation, reflection, and translation on an...

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Students use wax paper to look at different properties of circles such as chords, tangent lines, inscribed angles, and inscribed angles in a semi-circle, as well as finding the center of the circle, and use GSP to investigate cyclic...

Learners explore color, shape, line, balance, radial symmetry, unity, repetition, and pattern as they make a peace quilt inspired by those made by Hawaiian women in the 1800s. After learning a bit about the history or peace quilts, the...

Allow your students to review what they learned about animal characteristics with this PowerPoint. This slideshow includes 9 multiple choice questions and an answer key at the end. Tip: You can use this as an assessment by having your...

A series of geometry worksheets have mathematicians constructing, dissecting, overlapping, and measuring as they analyze angles in various contexts. Learners use symmetry and reflections in a compass rose to write instructions on...
