Grade Band: 5th Grade
Standard Goal: Geometry
| Tessellations: Geometry and Symmetry |
Lesson: Examines plane symmetry.
| | Translations, Reflections, and Rotations |
Lesson: Introduces students to concepts of transformations.
| 
Tessellate! |
Activity: Create a tessellation by deforming a triangle, rectangle or hexagon to form a polygon that tiles the plane. Corners of the polygons may be dragged, and corresponding edges of the polygons may be dragged. Parameters: Colors, starting polygon.
| 
Transmographer |
Activity: Explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by performing transformations on squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, reflections across vertical and horizontal lines, angle and point of rotation.
