Strawberry Milk
Students work in groups or alone to solve the problem. They use a systematic approach to get all possible answers. They report back to the class with solutions. They may extend their studying using a crate with room for 9 bottles.
Curated OER
Lots of Squares
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Transformation Trio
Students identify the transformation and rotation of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students use picture to perform rotation, reflection and transformation. They identify the coordinate points of the new transformation.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students identify shapes that will tessellate. They construct a tessellation using transformations. Students identify transformations in tessellations. They identify applications of transformations such as tiling and fabric design.
