Circles: A Geometric Perspective
Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...
Curated OER
Similarity and Dilations - Discover Properties of Similar Figures
Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships between...

Geometry: Translations and Reflections
Group work and participation is used to perform a specified translation or reflection. In this geometrical translation lesson, small groups of pupils are each given a shape to plot on a coordinate grid. Each shape is then translated or...
Curated OER
Reflections
Learners explore reflection of polygons on a coordinate plane. They examine the relationships that exist between corresponding points and sides.
Curated OER
Reflecting a Triangle in the Coordinate Plane
Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.
Texas Instruments
Transformational Puppet
High Schoolers create a puppet and make predictions using the TI Navigator. For this math lesson, they will discuss their results as they explore transformation. This assignment requires the TI navigator or a smartboard.
Curated OER
Archeologist Frieze Patterns
Learners construct frieze patterns using translations and rotations. They will discuss how frieze patterns are similar to jigsaw puzzles and use Cabri Jr. to build a triangle frieze pattern using rotations, translations, and reflections.
Curated OER
What's the Spin?
Learners use the CABRI application for their graphing calculator to rotate, translate, and reflect triangles. They use graphing calculators and follow detailed directions to manipulate triangles in specified ways. There are three...
Curated OER
Reflections in the Plane
Have your class explore the concept of reflections as they use Cabri Jr. to construct a triangle and reflect it over a line. Learners reflect shapes across the coordinate plane and across the lines y = x and y = -x.
Curated OER
Rotations in the Plane
Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...
Curated OER
Connecting Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Learners differentiate between translation, reflection and rotation. They explore the 3 types of transformation using Cabri Jr. and build on previous knowledge in this lesson.
Curated OER
Handy Reflections
Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

University of Georgia: Inter Math: Transformation
This site defines transformation and lists several different examples of transformations. Be sure to follow the links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving...
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Geometry: Composition of Transformations
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students compose a series of transformations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice...
Wolfram Research
Wolfram Math World: Rotational Transformation Matrix
Math World offers the transformational matrix that allows us to rotate a two dimensional coordinate which in turn rotates the image. The page also offers the transformational matrix for rotation in three dimensions.
