Explains, with examples, what a translation is. Includes tutorials and practice activities.

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.

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.

Young scholars are introduced to translations, reflections, and rotations and how to explore them in real-world scenarios.

This site gives a short interactive quiz which allows students to self-assess their understanding of the concept of translations.

Investigate tessellations using this interactive Learn Alberta math resource. Students will explore transformations, namely line symmetry, rotation symmetry, and translation occurring within a tessellated pattern. Be sure to follow the...

This lesson focuses on wallpaper groups. While there are infinitely many possible patterns, they all have one of just 17 different symmetry groups. These are called the Wallpaper Groups. Every wallpaper group is defined by a combination...

Mangbetu art shows the use of all four geometric transforms: Reflection, Translation, Rotation, and Scaling. This website will provide you with some cultural background on the Mangbetu and their art. The software will allow you to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognizing translation transformations also called slides. Students can explore the concept of translations by studying notes, watching a video, looking at...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use integer translations to describe paths between points on the coordinate plane.

Students learn about how to translate a shape. An activity, example, and definition are included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transformations move and modify geometric shapes. There are several types of transformations that all transform figures in different ways. These transformations can...

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.

Given two figures on the coordinate plane, find the formal definition of the translation that takes one figure to another. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or...

Learn how similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation.

See examples of transformations including a translation and a reflection.

A succinct test for assessing geometry concepts. Assessment is scored online giving immediate feedback. An excellent assessment tool.

Explains how simple polygons translate into matrices and how to use 2x2 matrices to represent transformations in a plane. Includes video demonstrating an example where a vector must be rotated 90 degrees using matrices. [4:18]

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."

This lesson will present how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane, and will discuss how the properties of the figure are affected. It is 1 of 5 in the series titled "Translations of Geometric Figures."

This lesson will present how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane, and will discuss how the properties of the figure are affected. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Translations of Geometric Figures."

This site is for the purpose of using proofs for geometry. It helps by giving some useful theorems.

For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.
