Transformation Lesson
This is a short discovery lesson on the reflection transformation.

Frieze Frame Investigation
In this project, you will explore the underlying relationships among frieze patterns from around the world. You will also create your own designs. You will see how distinct civilizations—separated by oceans and centuries—are linked by their use of geometry to express themselves and to beautify their world.

Can You Make a Hole in One?
In this activity students will use miniature golf to explore principals of reflection. Students will collect and analyze data to determine the characteristics of the point at which a ball must hit a wall in order to make a hole in one. Students in higher level math classes (geometry, trigonometry, or calculus) will use equations to compare the actual data with what should theoretically happen.
