Math is all about finding solutions and connections you didn't expect! Young mathematicians often first discover nonlinear patterns when graphing quadratic functions. The lesson begins with the vocabulary of a quadratic graph and uses...

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve questions that involve rotations, reflections, and dilations.  The one page worksheet contains ten multiple choice questions.  Answers are not provided. 

Students identify the location of coordinate pairs of an image. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformation and identify the image and pre-image point of location. They apply the concept of fractals to...

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students perform translations on different polygons. For this geometry lesson, students create figures that will be used as an assessment to represent transformation. They perform hands on creation and relate it to the real world.

Learners identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Students perform reflections and translations of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform reflection in two parallel lines. They use Cabri to observe the transformation and rotations of each shape.

Middle schoolers view a demonstration on how to make a skewer book. Using various types of fabric, they transform it into a skewer book to be used for scrapbooking. They share their books with the class and ask for constructive criticism.

Students investigate quadratics through word problems. In this algebra lesson, students models the number of registered males in apprenticeship programs. They investigate the transformation of quadratic function on a coordinate plane.

In this algebra worksheet, students perform transformations on quadratic functions. They describe the different properties of quadratic functions. There are 12 problems.

Students calculate the area of a parallelogram. In this geometry lesson, students perform translation using a coordinate plane and coordinate pairs. They perform translation on other polygons.

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect and plot data on a coordinate plane. They use the CBL and TI calculator to graph systems of equation.
