Students move their cursor in this activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x...

This activity is designed to reinforce the concepts of reflections and translations by having the students create a virtual puppet using Cabri Jr. As they construct their puppets, students will reinforce their understanding of...

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.

Site that focuses on planar pattern and transformations within geometry. It also identifies different kinds of symmetry.

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.

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.

The students will explore reflections of an object over the x-axis, y-axis, and origin.

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

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

Lesson and activities focusing on line reflection. Here you will find a detailed explanation of the concept with picture examples, opportunities for interactive practice, and supporting classroom activities in the teacher resource pages.

Students learn how to sketch a shifted and scaled function. Topics explored include horizontal scaling, vertical scaling, horizontal reflections, and vertical reflections. Class notes, examples, and practice problems are used to...

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...

In this activity the teacher will send two lists, a window range, and an educational document via the TI-Navigator. Students will explore the reflections and rotations of a shape in the rectangular coordinate system.

Definitions are provided line of symmetry, line symmetry, and plane symmetry, and several nice examples are provided that illustrate these definitions.

Given a pair of figures in the coordinate plane, try to map one onto the other and determine whether they are congruent. Includes examples of glide reflections. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

[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...

A unique geometry project that asks students to complete a transformation using a picture. Project includes instructions, examples, and quiz questions.

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...

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.

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,...

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Learners are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

This study guide on the composition of transformations covers some vocabulary terms and different types of these compositions. It is available for download with free registration.

Questions related to translations, reflections, rotations, and more can be found on this quiz. Use the links provided to view the quiz in full screen, change the quiz format, review key facts about transformations, and have fun with the...

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