Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

Students solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry instructional activity, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Learners observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry lesson, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation worksheet after the lesson.

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Students utilize their observational skills. They explore body movements and facial clues of their partner and imitate them. Students practice and perform in front of the class. They write a story with a mirror as a major feature.

Students work in pairs, to make a square on the geoboards with a rubber band (or draw one on the dot paper). It can be any size and in any location and share their answers with the class.

Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students examine tikkun olam. In this religion lesson, students define the concept of tikkun olam and identify actions that they can do to help make the "perfect world." Students share ideas and post their ideas on the class web.

Pupils investigate the symmetry that is found in nature. They view shapes and patterns in nature while looking at images. Students look for tessellations while obtaining photographs with a digital camera. The information is used for...

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Students identify and visualize congruent and similar two-dimensional geometric figures. They recognize that rotations, translations, and reflections do not change geometric figures. Students participate in activites in which they...

In this two-step linear equations worksheet, 7th graders solve 15 various problems that include linear equations with more than one-step. First, they need to get the variable, x, alone by subtracting/adding the whole number on the same...

Students make calculations in order to construct a kite in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. In this kite lesson students calculate altitude of their flying kites using a formula.

In this similar triangles worksheet, students find the scale factor of 6 sets of similar triangles. Students find the scale factor of two similar triangles given a sketch with measurements. Students use proportions to find a missing side...

Given a coordinate plane, the student will graph dilations, reflections, and translations, and use those graphs to solve problems.

Students will discover how to move a function up, down, to the right or left or reflect it.

Students are introduced to translations, reflections, and rotations and how to explore them in real-world scenarios.

This task uses GeoGebra software, which can be freely downloaded, to explore what happens to the line segments and angles of a triangle when it is reflected, rotated, and translated. Includes printable task sheet for students and a...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.

This lesson focuses on wallpaper groups. While there are infinitely many possible patterns, they all have one of just 17 different symmetry groups. These are called the Wallpaper Groups. Every wallpaper group is defined by a combination...

This activity is designed to reinforce the concepts of reflections and translations by having the students create a virtual puppet using Cabri Jr. As they construct their puppets, students will reinforce their understanding of...
