Middle and high schoolers participate in a seven-part lesson plan creating Escher-Esque tessellations. They demonstrate their knowledge of geometric transformations after viewing a PowerPoint presentation, conducting Internet research,...

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...

Participants who use this resource will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to show whether or not the shaded triangle inscribed in a rectangle is a right triangle. Once all of the sides on the shaded triangle are found, it is important that...

Build on your learners' previous knowledge of geometric shapes and symmetrical figures. Then set them out to take photos of geometric shapes on campus. They assess whether the photos contain symmetry or not. 

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Learners explore the concept of paragraph proofs. In this paragraph proofs instructional activity, students make flow charts of the process of getting ready for school. Learners convert the flow chart to a paragraph proof. Students use...

Young scholars explore the concept of similarity and congruence. In this similarity and congruence instructional activity, students cut out strips of paper and form a triangle. Young scholars try to prove that their triangles are...

In this congruent and similar figures worksheet, students review three steps to help them determine if figures are congruent, similar, or neither. Students then study the pairs of shapes and determine if they are congruent, similar, or...
