Third graders are introduced to the meanings of the concepts slides, turns, and flips in how they relate to Geometry. As a class, they use their bodies to demonstrate how each term should look like. To end the lesson, they apply the...

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Third graders slide, turn, and flip their bodies to explain sliding, turning, and flipping 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...

Demonstrate and discuss the three types of transformations: rotation, reflection, and translation. Participate in a game which helps to reinforce and practice what they learned. Groups work collaboratively to complete the game.

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

Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

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 create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

Students create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Fourth graders observe geometric patterns to determine if they show rotational or point symmetry. They participate in the a demonstration instructional activity with a triangle. They create their own designs that show rotational or point...

Students classify, flip, slide, and turn a quantity of quadrilaterals.

Fourth graders investigate the concept of geometric patterning. They create their own patterns with a few basic requirements. The patterns must illustrate the concepts of flipping, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The collages also consist...

Learners 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. ...

Students complete a webquest on the various types of symmetry. Using a computer, they explore the concepts of transformational geometry and identify points, segments, lines and planes. They experiment with the rotation of a quadrilateral...

Second graders utilize manipulatives (pentominoes) to demonstrate knowledge of: lines of symmetry, slides, reflections (flips), rotations (turns), area, and perimeter. This activity gives students a meaningful way to practice these...

Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...

Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.

Students recognize, describe, and perform transformations (rotation/turn, reflection/flip, and translation/slide) on two dimensional shapes.

Students listen to the book, Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt and discuss the art of quilting. They examine various symmetrical sewing designs, and identify reflection pieces, slides, and flips.
