This hands-on lesson plan uses exploration and discovery to help students determine the coordinates of the vertices of various figures when translated, rotated, or reflected in a coordinate plane. The exploration phase will access...

On a coordinate plane students will identify, describe, and plot the results of transformations with guidance provided by this lesson plan.

The symmetry of a trangle on the coordinate plane is discovered through the 2X2 matrix transformations.

In this exercise, students practice performing rotations on a coodinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and the definition of a rotation about the origin, draw the image of that rotation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or...

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.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will adjust Frankenstien's face to explore dilation. Click learn more to watch a video and click challenge me to answer a practice question.

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...

In this set of questions, students use an interactive tool to rotate objects on a Cartesian grid. Help is available through hints and videos.

In this set of questions, students practice using an interactive tool to reflect images on a Cartesian grid. Includes hints.

Given a figure and a definition of a translation, draw the image. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Find the reflection that maps a given figure to another and draw the image of a reflection. The lines of reflection in this exercise have a wide range of slopes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

The final coordinate system transformation is scaling which changes the size of the grid is examined.

In this task, 8th graders are shown a picture of a triangle on a coordinate grid and are asked to draw and label reflections and explain a transformation. Aligns with 8.G.A.3.

In this task, 8th graders investigate congruence and transformations of two triangles on a coordinate grid. Includes a GeoGebra worksheet that the teacher can use for demonstration purposes. Aligns with 8.G.A.2.

Given a coordinate plane, the student will graph dilations, reflections, and translations, and use those graphs to solve problems.

The goal of this task is to use the unit circle and rigid transformations in order to establish some fundamental trigonometric function identities. Aligns with F-TF.A.2 and F-TF.A.4.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Use the interactive transformation tool to perform translations. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

The process of moving the coordinate system is called translation. The application of translation is examined.

Brush up on your math skills relating to translations then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

This MathWorld tutorial provides detailed overviews of the concepts and theorems associated with geometry. Most of the Math World sites are extensive and some require higher math knowledge to understand, links to terms and topics are...

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

The purpose of this task is to apply translations and reflections to the graphs of the functions f(x)=cos x and g(x)=sin x in order to derive some trigonometric identities. There are also rotations 180 degrees about points on the x-axis...
