Curated OER
Six Squares
Students create different shapes on grid paper. In this two-dimensional geometry lesson, students take turns outlining a shape made of six squares on the graph paper. They identify all shapes they see once everyone has had a turn.
Curated OER
Ecology - Biodiversity Lab
Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.
Curated OER
Creating Tessellations
Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.
Curated OER
Making Shapes
Tenth graders construct geometric figures using compasses and protractors.
Curated OER
Seeing Double
Students develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.
Curated OER
Pattern Matching
First graders examine how to determine the lines of symmetry in pictures, shapes, and patterns by completing the lessons in this unit. They make patterns that show a line of symmetry and describe it using their own language.
Curated OER
Strawberry and Chocolate Milk
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.
Curated OER
Congruent figures
For this congruency worksheet, students complete problems dealing with congruent and non-congruent figures. Students complete 5 short answer and multiple choice problems.
Curated OER
Congruence Activity
In this congruency worksheet, 5th graders complete 4 questions about congruent figures and transformations. Page has links to additional activities.
Curated OER
Transformations and Translations
In this transformations/translation learning exercise, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Data Representation
Learners solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry lesson, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.
Curated OER
Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Learners use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings
Curated OER
Tessellation Quilt Squares
Fifth graders design a "quilt block" that has a tessellating pattern to help create a class tessellation quilt. They describe relationships between two- and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of geometric...
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
Geo-Folder
Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.
Curated OER
Area of Parallelograms
Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...
Curated OER
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.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: Reflections, Rotations, and Translations
This task uses GeoGebra software, which can be freely downloaded, to explore what happens to the line segments and angles of a triangle when it is reflected, rotated, and translated. Includes printable task sheet for students and a...

Mangahigh: Transtar: Reflections, Rotations, Dilations and Translations
For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.

Shodor Interactivate: Transformations
This lesson shows elementary learners how they can know that rigid motions like reflections, rotations, and translations create a shape congruent to the original.
