Geometry, Measurement and Geoboards

Back of Geoboard

Think of as many possible uses for the circle part of the Geoboard in Geometry

Geoboards and Geometry/Measurement

Parallel Lines and transversals

Parallel Lines

Graph y=1 and y=3 Graph transversal

line through (-2,3) and (1,0)

Measure the angles(0,0) x

y

Parallel Lines

Connect (-3,-2) and (3,2)

Connect (-4,-1) and (2,3)

Create a transversal (-4,2) and (3,-3)

What angles are congruent?

(0,0) x

y

Transformations

Draw triangle WVY and translate it (3,-1).

W(-1,0) V(-3,-3) Y(2,-3) (0,0) x

y

Transformations

Draw triangle RST and reflect it over the y-axis. R(-5,0) S(-2,-5) T(-1,-1)

(0,0) x

y

Transformations

Draw triangle RST and reflect it over the x-axis. R(-5,0) S(-2,-5) T(-1,-1)

(0,0) x

y

Transformations

Draw triangle RST and rotate it 90° clockwise. R(-5,0) S(-2,-5) T(-1,-1)

Can use graph paper too
