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.]

It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are translated in the coordinate plane. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.

This task uses GeoGebra software, which can be freely downloaded, to explore what happens to the line segments and angles of a triangle when it is reflected, rotated, and translated. Includes printable task sheet for students and a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify and describe transformations in the coordinate plane.

Use the activity center in TI-Navigator to discover a generalization for translating ordered pairs in a coordinate plane.

This lesson focuses on rigid transformations, a specific set of rules that convert one geometric figure into another one. There are many different types of transformations, like reflections or rotations. It provides several practice...

Worksheets provide practice with finding the area or circumference of a circle and answer keys are provided. You can even create your own worksheet or flashcards.

Accompanied by links to online activities and demonstrations, students learn about the different types of transformations on a coordinate grid through this lesson plan. The lesson is designed to match the Grade 7 Ontario curriculum, with...

This lesson plan reviews transformations in the coordinate plane while mimicking real-world planning skills. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extention as well as ways to manage behavior problems and reluctant learners.

A rigid motion of the plane is a map of the plane to itself which preserves distances between points. The purpose of this task is to use fixed points as a tool for studying and classifying rigid motions of the plane, i.e., translations,...

Students show comprehension of advanced mathematics skills in Geometry. The questions check understanding on transformational geometry. Topics include translations, symmetry, and rotations.

Provides an explanation, examples, and a video lesson all related to the four common types of transformation. [1:00]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students explore composite transformations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart was designed to introduce fourth grade students to transformations in geometry. It includes translations, reflections, and rotations.

This site defines transformation and lists several different examples of transformations. Be sure to follow the links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving...

Half-length practice test for the third grade OAT (Ohio Achievement Test). The test includes 17 multiple-choice and 4 open-response questions dealing with topics such as number sense (order of operations, ratios), measurement (metric...

Part three of three; The March 2006 8th grade Math test from the State of New York. The test is 12 open-response questions dealing with topics such as algebra (solve for a variable, write function rules), geometry (translations, parallel...

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan explores tessellations and their geometric properties. Plenty of interactive support is available for students. Lots of resources for teachers to use.

This lesson plan deals with tessellations and their geometric concepts. Upper elementary and middle school students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and culture.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at real world examples of transformations found throughout West Edmonton Mall. The accompanying interactive component asks students to predict transformations through looking at...

Accuracy of measurement in navigation depends very much on the situation. If a sailor's target is an island 200 km wide, sailing off center by 10 or 20 km is not a major problem. But, if the island were only 1 km wide, it would be missed...

This one page website can expand your logic, Motion Geometry and pattern recognition knowledge. The solution is available to double check your answers.

Follow the directions at this one page website. You will get lots of practice plotting points on the coordinate grid and experience with transformational geometry.

This presentation provides a tutorial on symmetry. In the tutorial, you will do the following: learn about geometric symmetry, explore line or reflection symmetry, explore rotation symmetry, and explore translation symmetry and frieze...
