Students listen to the math problem and discuss. They work alone or in groups to come up with the possible solutions and put their pictures of the bottle arrangements on the wall so that the class can refer to them.

Get hundreds of interactive activity plans using the Zome Modeling System. Among dozens of lessons, a first exposure to similar triangles can be very visual for the learner. Here, young geometers explore the number of different shapes...

What do you get when you cross piecewise functions with transformations?  An engaging lesson! The conclusion of a four-part series on the transformations of functions asks class members to apply transformations to piecewise...

Students use translations, rotations, and reflections to create tessellations. They explore and construct several different types of tessellations including pure/semi-pure and non-regular polygon and "Escher-like" tessellations .

In this glide reflection worksheet, students draw and answer questions about reflections of different shapes. Students answer 5 questions.

Learners examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).

Fourth graders identify lines of symmetry using reflections and then construct figures that have one or more lines of symmetry. In this symmetry lesson plan, 4th graders use sets of shapes, pattern blocks, a mirror, and more.

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 examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.

In this reflection of a line worksheet, 10th graders identify 10 different reflections of lines as stated in each. First, they determine the image of a point under a reflection across the x-axis. Then, students find x, y, and z of a...

Eighth graders use a stencil to make a figure with which they discover the horizontal line of reflection, the vertical line of reflection, and the diagaonal line of reflection using coordinates.

In this transformations learning exercise, students solve 5 multi-part short answer problems. Students transform images by reflecting them over a line or a point.  Students find the line and/or point symmetry of various figures.

Students study the laws of reflection using light beams and mirrors. In this reflection lesson, students work in teams to direct light beams to targets around the classroom. Students use mirrors to change the beam's path and compete...

Students compare/contrast paintings with similar subjects and themes. They discuss how a painting may relate to life experiences. Students draw animal families and compose a story about a painting by Gerome. They discuss zoos and...

Learners with sensory perception issues discover the properties of light through a series of excellent hands on activities. They look at beams of lights in a darkened room; use a kaleidoscope and optical illusions as they experience the...

Students explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson, students use Geometer's Sketchpad to construct cyclic and dihedral figures. Students study reflection and rotation symmetry. Students discuss vertical,...

Students research their family traditions. They select a tradition that has meaning to them and write about the traditions. They retell the story to a partner and add details. They write a draft of their story to a partner and...

A list of instructions for this exciting Geometry Jeopardy game is included on slide 2. There are a total of 25 clues and 5 categories, including: solids, triangles, lines, angles, and grab bag. Tip: Play this Jeopardy game with your...

In this reflection activity, students reflect the shapes in the mirror lines and draw them on the other side. They complete 2 drawings. The answers are on the last page.

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

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...

Geometers prove that triangle PQR is congruent to triangle ABC by describing any combination of rotations, reflections, and translations that would prove it so. There is only this single task on the handout, but a detailed explanation of...

Students research the history of the quilt in American History and view a PowerPoint Presentation. They create a quilt square with colored paper using polygons, transformations, rotations, and reflections on the computer and on a...

Dive into an activity that may cause a little reflection! Building from the first lesson in the series of two, learners explore transformation using unfamiliar functions. The key takeaway is that applying transformations to any function...
