This site is a Geometer's Sketch Pad lesson plan where students explore tessellations through reflections, rotations, and translations.

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

Suppose ABCD is a quadrilateral for which there is exactly one rotation, through an angle larger than 0 degrees and less than 360 degrees, which maps it to itself. Further, no reflections map ABCD to itself. What shape is ABCD? Aligns...

This task examines the rigid motions which map a rectangle onto itself. The emphasis here is on careful reasoning using the definitions of reflections and rotations. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

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...

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...

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,...

There is exactly one reflection and no rotation that sends the convex quadrilateral ABCD onto itself. What shape(s) could quadrilateral ABCD be? Explain. Aligns with G-CO.A.3.

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

This University of Regina site gives some history and definitions about translations and symmetry.

Get independent practice working with transformations. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.
