Curated OER
Say "Thank You" in 100 Languages!
Learners put the "Thanks" back in Thanksgiving with this geography and language activity that teaches students to say "thank you" in many languages.
Curated OER
Reflection
Students examine how some transformations, such as reflections and rotations, do not change the figure itself, only its position or orientation.
Curated OER
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.
Curated OER
Transformations
Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. In this transformations lesson, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph paper. Students...
Curated OER
Transformations in the Coordinate Plane: Reteach
In this transformations worksheet, students review the terms and example diagrams for a translation, reflection, and rotation. Students then identify the coordinates for a triangle after completing the given transformations in the four...
Curated OER
Symmetry
In this symmetry worksheet, students find examples of 3 different types of symmetry in their surroundings and draw them in the boxes provided. The types of symmetry are reflective symmetry, symmetry along a line and symmetry around a...
Curated OER
Slides, Flips and Turns
Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...
Curated OER
Performing Transformations
Students investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.
Curated OER
Dog Salmon Lesson Nine
Students culminate the Dog Salmon Unit by writing a one page paper on their reflections and experience. They synthesize the Athabascan terms for the salmon parts.
