In this transformations and translations in Geometry activity, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.

Searching for a detailed lesson to assist in describing rotations while keeping the class attentive? Individuals manipulate rotations in this application-based lesson depending on each parameter. They construct models depending on the...

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

Use a clock face to develop angles representing standard position angles. The interactive allows pupils to create angles using the hands of a clock. Scholars discover that there is a difference in the angle formed using a clock face and...

Pupils use an interactive clock to set specific times. They apply math to an everyday task as they determine the measure of the angle formed by the hands in degrees and in radians. 

Students explore radial symmetry.  In this 3 dimensional art and geometry instructional activity, students identify examples of radial symmetry in everyday objects. Students create an imprint using radial symmetry on clay tiles.

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...

How do you prepare class members for the analytical thinking they will need in the real world? An assessment requires the higher order thinking they need to be successful. The module focuses on the concept of rigid transformations...

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The...

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of symmetry. Provided with images of different shapes, letters, and national flags, learners are tasked with identifying the lines of symmetry and order of rotational symmetry...

Have you hit a wall when trying to create performance task questions? Several open-ended response questions require a deep level of thinking. Topics include triangle congruence, quadrilaterals, special segments, constructions, and...

What happens when rotating an image 180 degrees? The sixth lesson in the series of 18 takes a look at this question. Learners discover the pattern associated with 180-degree rotations. They then use transparency paper to perform the...

In this motions in geometry learning exercise, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page learning exercise contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

Very simply, geometers examine a pair of rectangles on graph paper and find a translation and rotation to demonstrate their congruence. A couple of questions follow to stimulate critical thinking about other possibilities.

In this geometry skills practice worksheet, learners examine 3 images and determine whether or not they have rotational symmetry.

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

Measure angles in more than one way. The interactive introduces the concept of measuring angles from 0 to 360 degrees. Scholars explore the relationships between the angle and reference angles along with coterminal angles.

Five pages for geometry practice relating to symmetry provide mathematicians with exercises on transformations and symmetry, properties of isometries, compositions of transformations, tessellations with regular polygons, and other...

Graph transformations, write rules to describe transformations, find coordinates of vertices after given transformations: geometers practice these skills on a two-page activity in 14 problems. No answers are provided.

Students explore the concept of tessellations. In this tessellations lesson, students use an applet to construct tessellations. Students use regular polygons to construct tessellations. Students find patterns and symmetry in their...

Students define and identify transformation and rotation. In this geometry instructional activity, students define rotations as congruence or isometry. They find the coordinates of an image and pre-image.
