This book is a "flexed" version of CK-12's Basic Geometry that aligns with College Access Geometry and contains embedded literacy supports. It covers the essentials of geometry for the high school student.
CK-12 Foundation's Geometry FlexBook is a clear presentation of the essentials of geometry for the high school student. Topics include: Proof, Congruent Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Similarity, Perimeter & Area, Volume, and Transformations.
A structured geometry program teacher edition of daily lesson plans and teacher supports to accompany the College Access Reader: Geometry student edition.
This resource is a review activity for Geometric Transformations. There is a thinglink web tool that can be used to review the rules for transformations and an activity that can be done individually or in groups. Cover page Photo by Samuel Zeller on Unsplash
Students will review coordinate plane concepts, practice map skills, review shapes, transform geometric figures, and calculate the area and perimeter of figures.

CK-12 Geometry Teacher's Edition covers tips, common errors, enrichment, differentiated instruction and problem solving for teaching CK-12 Geometry Student Edition. The solution and assessment guides are available upon request.
In this lesson, students design a simple coordinate graph picture.and reflect, translate and rotate the picture according to specific directions. A resource can be found at: http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/documents/812_01.pdf
Adapted from mathematicsvisionproject.com’s Material Overview:
The Mathematics Vision Project (MVP) was created as a resource for teachers to implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) using a task-based approach that leads to skill and efficiency in mathematics by first developing understanding. The MVP approach develops the Standards of Mathematical Practice through experiential learning. Students engage in mathematical problem solving, guided by skilled teachers, in order to achieve mathematical proficiency: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, strategic competence, adaptive reasoning, and productive disposition. The MVP authors created a curriculum where students do not learn solely by either “internalizing what a teacher or book says or, on the other hand, solely by inventing mathematics on their own.”
The MVP classroom experience begins by confronting students with an engaging problem and allows them to grapple with solving it. As students’ ideas emerge, take form, and are shared, the teacher deliberately orchestrates the student discussions and explorations toward a focused math goal. Students justify their own thinking while clarifying, describing, comparing, and questioning the thinking of others leading to refined thinking and mathematical fluency. What begin as ideas become concepts that lead to formal, traditional math definitions and properties. Strategies become algorithms that lead to procedures supporting efficiency and consistency. Representations become tools of communication which are formalized as mathematical models. Students learn by doing mathematics.
This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to: recognize and visualize transformations of 2D shapes; and translate, reflect and rotate shapes, and combine these transformations. It also aims to encourage discussion on some common misconceptions about transformations.
In this lesson, students extend their use of dilation to explore similar triangles. Students will be led through an activity using Geometer's Sketchpad, and using their prerequisite knowledge of dilated figures to explore "similar triangles", as will as properties of similar triangles
This applet allows the user to explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations. It allows the user to translate triangles, squares, and parallelograms on both the x and y-axes. The user can also reflect the figure around x values, y values, and the line x = y. The applet will also rotate the figure any given number of degrees.
For this lesson students will use graphing calculators(TI-83 Plus) to find transformations of polygons.
