The Perils of Translation
Students discover the challenges of translating poetry written in a character-based language through the study of Lao-tzu's work, Daodejing. This lesson includes possible extensions and evaluations.
Curated OER
Introduction to Unit V-Transformations
Students investigate transformations. In this Algebra I/Geometry activity, students explore reflections, translations, rotations and dilations. The activity includes examples of transformations in art, architecture, and nature.
Curated OER
Geometry, Measurement & Reasoning
Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. In this geometry lesson plan, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the...
IMSA
Geometric Transformations with Matrices
In this math worksheet, learners find the values associated with the geometric transformations. They read the instruction sheet for completing matrices with translations, rotations, reflections, and scaling by adding and multiplying...
Curated OER
ABC's Transformer
Fourth graders design their own letter graph, and then produce the resulting graphs after a translation, reflection, and rotation. After a review of vocabulary, 4th graders create their graphs using crayons.
Curated OER
Motions In Geometry
In this motions in geometry worksheet, students draw translations, rotations, and reflections. This three-page worksheet contains examples, instructions, and 6 problems. The last page contains answers.
