Create colorful cool or warm butterflies with simple materials. Class members draw their designs, spray the marker to diffuse the colors, and attach pipe cleaners to form the shape of a butterfly with antennae. Individuals must be able...

There are many ways to transform geometric figures. This lesson will illustrate how to reflect figures over a line to get a mirror image of the figure. The teacher will draw three different reflections: one as reflected over the y-axis,...

How do you translate absolute value equations vertically? What's a parent equation? What is a constant k in an equation? How does the value of the constant k change the graph of the equation vertically? So many questions. Watch as the...

Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane vertically by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that for...

Transform the figure six units vertically down. Use the given coordinate points to translate by subtracting 6 from each of the given y-values. Then plot the new coordinates points and connect the dots.

Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane horizontally by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that...

There are many ways to transform a figure on a coordinate plane. This problem requires the movement to be four units horizontally to the right. Using the original coordinate pairs, a positive 4 can be added to each x-value to get the new...

This presentation is pretty straightforward in illustrating how to translate a figure on the coordinate plane. Watch the instructor follow the directions to translate the figure four units to the right and six units down.

Perform a reflection of a figure over the y-axis. This seems pretty straightforward. But also learn how to use the coordinates to reflect a figure.

Perform a reflection of a figure over the x-axis. This seems pretty straightforward. But also learn how to use the coordinates to reflect a figure.

A translation means moving a figure to another location by sliding it. The figure, called the image, maintains its size and shape. You can move the image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both.

A transformation is the process of changing the graph of a figure or a shape. The instructor introduces the four most common transformations: reflection, dilation, rotation, and translation. So watch as she draws the transformations on a...

Transformations, isn't that geometry? The instructor illustrates how to rotate a shape around a fixed point on a graph, keeping the shape the same size.

A dilation increases or decreases the size of a figure. In this lesson the teacher shows you how to use a scale factor of three to dilate the given figure. She identifies the ordered pairs, multiplies them by three, plots the new...

Translating the graph of an absolute value equation horizontally based on the value of a constant, seems to be a big task. That sentence was a mouthful. So what does it all mean? Click on this video to observe the instructor illustrate...

Translate an absolute value equation, horizontally and vertically. First, what is the form of an absolute value equation? There are several variables that represent specific pieces in this equation. Vertical, horizontal, constant,...

This animated cartoon is a great resource to show your middle school learners as they study the carbon cycle. Each step is explained and shown simply for your young scientists. Human impact is also portrayed to encourage environmental...

In this transformations worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 27 various types of problems that include similar figures and justifying answers. First, they dilate the shape shown using a zoom factor from the origin. Then, students...

A reflection is just what you think it is, a mirror image. So how do you reflect a figure on a graph? Just flip it over. The teacher illustrates how to select a line of reflection (the y-axis) and make the calculations to flip the figure.
