Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

In this congruence statements worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they complete each congruence statement listed. Then, students graph each set of points on the coordinate plane provided. They...

Students examine the history of mandalas from Tibet. After reviewing the Designing a Mandala handout, they use geometric symmetrical shapes to create their own examples. Next, they write poems or essays and explain the meaning of the...

In this geometric transformations worksheet, 4th graders choose how three shapes have been transformed, either reflected, rotated or translated.

In this transformation of alphabet letters activity, students choose whether three alphabet letters have been reflected, rotated or translated.

In this identifying transformations worksheet, 3rd graders look at three figures and choose reflected, rotated or translated to indicate how it has been transformed.

Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Second graders make, name, and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and discuss geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

The task, should your class decide to take it, is to list a series of reflections that transfer a line segment from one position to another. 

How does something go from here to there? Describe it with a transformation. Young mathematicians learn how to translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate an image. 

Learners explore color, shape, line, balance, radial symmetry, unity, repetition, and pattern as they make a peace quilt inspired by those made by Hawaiian women in the 1800s. After learning a bit about the history or peace quilts, the...

Given the lines of symmetry in an equilateral triangle, your learners find where the pre-image vertices are mapped onto the new image. They explore the properties of equilateral triangles, the impact of reflections, and the...

Create geometric cups by interpreting directions, informational text, and mathematical concepts. Critical thinkers apply geometric theory (congruent shapes, patterns, symmetry) to actual directions to create a cup that holds Kool Aid....

High Schoolers explore the concept of exponential reflections. They use their Ti-Nspire to reflect the natural logarithm function over the line y=x. Young scholars repeat the process using different exponential functions using a slider.

Dominoes, polyominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes are the subject of this interesting math activity designed for middle schoolers. Pupils cut out shapes that are embedded in a worksheet in the plan, and experiment with them by...

Caricature drawing is fun, and can help learners explore the principle of design and content specific vocabulary. They view a video and books that use character drawings, discuss vocabulary such as exaggeration, proportion, and symmetry,...

Learners use current knowledge to predict the meaning of line of symmetry. They explore symmetry using mirrors.

In this transformation worksheet, learners identify and solve 10 different problems that include various images. First, they determine whether each object illustrated is a mirror image or reflection of the other image in the problem....

Students explore characteristics of symmetry, write a definition, and locate the line of symmetry on a shape.

Students display knowledge of line of symmetry by designing a geometric stained glass window pattern.

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Students explore the ways masks are used in various occupations and cultural ceremonies through readings, a play performance and guest speakers. They create a clay mask and a found art mask using principles of symmetry. After creating...
