Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Reflect Shapes
Given a figure and a definition of a reflection, draw the image. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.
Rice University
Rice University: Cynthia Lanius: Dueling Pinwheels (Geometer's Sketchpad)
An introductory look at the interactive Geometer's Sketchpad in terms of using it to explore rotations, translations, and reflections. Only a beginner's amount of skill with the program is needed. Exploration questions are given for the...
Oswego City School District
Regents Exam Prep Center: General "Transformation" Vocabulary
This site offers a short discussion of transformations. The discussion has few pictures and expresses the transformations in terms of relative coordinates rather than pictures.
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Transmographer
Shodor Education Foundation provides an applet that "allows the user to explore the world of transformations, reflections, and rotations. It allows the user to translate triangles, squares, and parallelograms on both the x and y-axes."
Varsity Tutors
Varsity Tutors: Hotmath: Similar Figures
Find a clear explanation of similar figures. Discusses how they can be transformed through a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations. Explanations are supported with illustrated examples.
ClassFlow
Class Flow: Transformations in Geometry
[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart was designed to introduce fourth grade students to transformations in geometry. It includes translations, reflections, and rotations.
Oswego City School District
Regents Exam Prep Center: Reflection in a Line
This site gives some examples of line reflection transformations. Includes coordinate graphs to show reflections of lines and shapes.
Analyze Math
Analyze Math: Reflection Across a Line
Reflect any point, line segment, triangle, or any other figure over one or two lines using this dynamic applet. Points and lines are entered by point-and-click rather than by typing equations or ordered pairs. A very neat exercise to...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Changing Functions
Students can use as an assessment-discovery lesson after talking about reflections and transformations of functions
Other
P.u.e.m.a.c.: Galeria De Transformaciones
Enjoy constructions created by rotations, reflections and translations. [Requires Java.]
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 8.g Reflecting a Rectangle Over a Diagonal
In this task, 8th graders are presented with several rectangles that have diagonal lines through them and are placed on grids. They are asked to draw reflections and to discuss rectangles that are squares. Aligns with 8.G.A.
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Transmographer 2
Build your own polygon and transform it in the Cartesian coordinate system. Experiment with reflections across any line, rotations about any point, and translations in any direction.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Mapping a Leaf
In this activity, students will identify and record ordered pairs from a coordinate plane. They will examine symmetry about the axes, reflections, and symmetry in nature. They understand geometric concepts like area and perimeter, and...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Traveling Shapes Motion Geometry
In this activity, students describe how to move a shape from one place to another in a plane. They learn about translations, rotations, and line reflections. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 8.g Congruent Segments
Eighth graders are shown two line segments that are the same length and must describe a sequence of reflections that exhibits a congruence between them. Aligns with 8.G.A.2.
E-learning for Kids
E Learning for Kids: Math: Living in the Mill: 2 D Shapes
Students can use this interactive site to practice various geometric concepts such as rotations, reflections, translations, tesselations and geometric patterns.
ClassFlow
Class Flow: Pentominoes
[Free Registration/Login Required] Students use geometric sense to create congruent shapes and figures in multiple orientations using transformations.
