Coordinate Plane Transformations

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Coordinate Plane Transformations lesson plan also includes:
  • Vocabulary
  • Join to access all included materials

Geometric transformations are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle schoolers, who reproduce the transformation by plotting the given points, then hypothesizing the name of the figure that was transformed. The project is discussed collaboratively through the use of video conferencing.
