Transformational Geometry Using the Geometer's Sketchpad
Middle schoolers 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...
Curated OER
Geometry and Symmetry
Pupils examine tessellations and their geometric properties. The instructional activity and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of polygons and symmetry as well as their ability to analyze patterns.

Geo Jammin' By DeSign - Day 5, Lesson 24: Read All About It!
Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.
Curated OER
Tantalizing Tangrams: What Are Transformations?
Students 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. ...
Curated OER
How Cells Reproduce
Students explain why cells reproduce and draw a diagram of each of the stages in mitosis. They put the stages of mitosis (interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis) in the correct sequence, from the beginning...
Curated OER
Transforming Triangles
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...

Geometry: Tessellations
Students create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.
Curated OER
Surface Area
Sixth graders compute the surface area. In this surface area lesson students are given a set of problems to calculate. They compute the surface area of cubes and rectangular boxes.
Curated OER
Powerful Polygons
Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...
Curated OER
Math Quilts
Learners examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Learners analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...
