School Improvement in Maryland

Lesson Plans: Lesson plans were written by Maryland mathematics educators and could be used when teaching the concepts.

Goal 2 Geometry, Measurement, And Reasoning

Expectation 2.1 The student will represent and analyze two- and three-dimensional figures using tools and technology when appropriate.

Indicator 2.1.3 The student will use transformations to move figures, create designs, and/or demonstrate geometric properties.

Lesson Plan

Line Symmetry and Reflections
Approximate Time: 45-minute lesson
Objective: The student will be able to identify similarities and differences between the images and pre-images generated by reflections, apply reflections to determine the coordinates of figures, and apply reflections to real-world situations.

Lesson Plan

Reflections over Two Lines and Dilations
Approximate Time: 45-minute lesson
Objective: Students will be able to identify and compare the three congruence transformations, apply the three congruence transformations to coordinates of the vertices of figures, identify and apply dilations, and apply transformations to real-world situations.

Lesson Plan

Rotational Symmetry and Rotations
Approximate Time: 45-minute lesson
Objective: The student will be able to identify the similarities and differences between the images and pre-images generated by rotations, apply rotations to determine the coordinates of vertices of figures, and apply rotations to real-world situations.

Lesson Plan

Translations
Approximate Time: 45-minute lesson
Objective: The students will be able to identify the similarities and differences between the images and pre-images generated by translations, apply translations to determine coordinates of the vertices of figures, and apply translations to real-world situations.
