Finding the Mirror Line
Where does the reflection come from? The vivdeo starts with a quick review of the form of the equation of horizontal and vertical lines and diagonals passing through the origin. Using a pre-image and an image of a reflected figure, the...
Lesson Planet
Transformations: Translations
Slide into vector transformations. Column vectors define the translation of figures by defining the number of units to move horizontally and vertically on the coordinate graph. Pupils develop an understanding of how to read the...
Lesson Planet
Rotations
Develop the basics of turns. A helpful video discusses the information required to perform a rotation. Afterward, the narrator shows pupils how to perform a rotation by using a piece of tracing paper to determine where the image will be...

Enlargements with Negative Scale Factor
How will a scale factor affect a figure—negatively? Using a grid, the narrator of an engaging video performs a dilation with a negative scale factor. The presenter compares a positive scale factor with a negative scale factor to explain...

Enlargements with Fractional Scale Factors
Enlargements make it bigger, right? A video shows viewers how to perform a basic dilation with a fractional scale factor. They learn how to use the scale factor to find the location of the transformed vertex by multiplying the horizontal...
Lesson Planet
Finding the Centre of Enlargement
Where did the transformation begin? Using a ruler, the narrator of a short presentation shows how to find the center of enlargement for transformed figures. Worksheets provide the class members an opportunity to practice the newly...

Describing Enlargements
What caused that to happen? Using three aspects, a video demonstrates how to describe an enlargement or dilation. The presenter counts the lengths of the sides to determine the scale factor and a ruler to find the center of dilation.

Leaping Lizards
Transform lizards onto different locations. The interactive provides a diagram of a lizard and several locations. Pupils use their knowledge of transformations to move the lizard to the different locations and use the tools of GeoGebra...
Lesson Planet
Demonstrating Rotations
Spin the quadrilateral about a point. Pupils trace a figure they can use to determine the image of a figure rotated about a point. They draw the resulting image and label its vertices.
Lesson Planet
Demonstrating Translations
Slide into translations. Given a vector, pupils translate a quadrilateral on a grid system. The scholars use a tracing to determine the image of a quadrilateral. They label the vertices to show the correspondence between the pre-image...

Comparing Transformations
Oh, a change is gonna come. Scholars identify how transformations change a figure. They make generalizations about how different types of transformations affect angle measures and side lengths.
Lesson Planet
Transformations and Symmetry
Flip, turn, and slide about the coordinate plane. Pupils define the rigid motions and experiment with them before determining the relationships of the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The sixth unit in a nine-part series...
