Graphing Polygons on the Coordinate Plane to Find Area/Perimeter
This activity asks the students to plot various ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the points to make a polygon. Then they are expected to calculate the area and/or perimeter of each shape. The first worksheet has a square, two rectangles and a triangle. The triangle is starred to show higher level thinking. Each polygon is to be colored a different color. The second worksheet asks the students to plot the points of five polygons: a triangle, two rectangles and two composite f
Lines of Symmetry Activity
The learner will use this hands on activity to recognize lines of symmetry by cutting 15 figures, fold them to find its lines of symmetry and paste them in groups depending on the number of lines of symmetry each figure has.
By manipulating and folding each figure to discover its lines of symmetry, the student will bring the abstract concept of symmetry to an easy manipulative concrete figure.
The teacher will also have ans answer sheet that can be used to show the students the lines of symmetry
