Find a quick, concise explanation of the transformations of graphs: translations, reflections and rotations. Examples are given and clearly explained for each transformation.

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...

Given geometric figures on the coordinate plane, the student will apply the definition of congruence, in terms of rigid transformations, to identify congruent figures. The student will also identify and distinguish between reflectional...

The student will use the transformations - rotation, reflection, translation - to create common shapes from tangram pattern blocks

This tutorial looks at transformations and investigates how they determine relationships between functions.

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

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...

Students use the Geoboard App to measure arcs, line segments, area, and perimeter, as well as rotate, reflect, and translate objects.

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

In this lesson on transformations on coordinate planes, 8th graders explore dilation, translation, reflection, and rotation of shapes within a coordinate plane.

This site presents information on the three basic transformations of figures in a plane: Reflections, Rotations, and Translations.

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.]

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...

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,...

[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...

Students can use this interactive site to practice various geometric concepts such as rotations, reflections, translations, tesselations and geometric patterns.

This hands-on lesson 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 students'...

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]

Choose a transformation and apply it to a shape to observe the resulting image.

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...

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...

Simple lesson designed to help young scholars learn the geometric concepts of translation, reflection, and symmetry by creating Navajo weaving patterns. Includes templates and instructions and is available in English and Spanish....

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students use the interactive features in Activstudio to simulate translations and reflections using objects. Students develop and apply their understanding of geometric sense by...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students apply multiple transformations to create congruent and similar figures in any or all of the four quadrants. Students apply their geometric sense by using multiple...
