Comparison of Images Formed by Plane, Cylindrical (concave side), and Spherical (concave side) Mirrors
Pupils study mirrors and see how images can be reversed. In this reflection lesson students demonstrate that all mirrors reverse images and that the apparent right to left reversal in a plane mirror is a result of that reversal.

Transformations: Translations
Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.
Curated OER
Angles in Standard Positions
Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...
Curated OER
Plotting Coordinates #2
In this plotting coordinates instructional activity, students plot sets of coordinates on graphs, then name the shape the plots formed. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Matrix Transformations
Students perform reflections of polygons. In this algebra lesson, students use matrices to calculate the reflection across the x and y axis. They also calculate rotation representing 90 and 180 degrees around the origin of the coordinate...
Curated OER
Reflections
Tenth graders perform reflections on different geometric shapes. For this geometry worksheet,students define the concept of geometric reflections and find the coordinates of the reflection on a coordinate grid.
Curated OER
Plot the Coordinates
In this plotting coordinates worksheet, learners plots sets of coordinates on graphs, then identify the shape the connected points have created. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Basic Algebra and Computers: Spreadsheets, Charts, and Simple Line Graphs
Students, while in the computer lab, assess how to use Microsoft Excel as a "graphing calculator." They view visual representations of line graphs in a Cartesian plane while incorporating basic skills for using Excel productively.
Curated OER
Absolute Location Using GPS Technology
GPS is great for identifying your position, but is it finding your relative or absolute location? Ninth graders explore the difference between absolute and relative location, use the standard grid system coordinate system, and use GPS to...
Curated OER
Exploring Graphs
Learners are introduced to connecting graphing in a coordinate plane to making scatterplots on a graphing calculator. Working in pairs, they connect points plotted to make a sailboat and complete questions on a worksheet as well as plot...
