In this paper, I share an activity that reinforces students' understanding of translations, reflections, and rotations via body movement. As a result of this activity, students gain a different perspective compared to previous explorations on paper, communicate mathematics, and visualize transformations as rigid motions on the plane. Furthermore,…

In this paper, I will discuss two related activities that I have developed for use in a college geometry course directed at pre-service secondary and elementary school teachers. These activities ask students to develop geometry on pool tables and on cones. The two activities are closely related, and both ask students to relate computer models with…
