Tenth graders explore transformations. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders investigate translations, reflections, rotations, and dilatation's on a Cartesian coordinate plane. Step-by-step instructions are provided for the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator.
Students investigate dilations. In this geometry activity, students investigate the relationship between the area of a geometric shape and the dilation factor. The use of geometry software allows for conjecture and verification.
Learners explore dilations. In this Algebra II lesson, students use matrices to perform dilations centered at the origins of triangles. Learners investigate the effect of scale factor on the size relationship between the pre-image and the image of a polygon.
Young mathematicians explore the concept of transformations by constructing a polygon on their calculator using lists. Learners transform the polygon using lists and reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate polygons.
TIalgebra has put together a lesson on transforming polygons using matrices. Examples of isometric as well as successive transformations are explored. The class uses graphing calculators to see how transformations can occur in a few of the infinite number of ways.
Students utilize artwork to help illustrate the major ideas of transformations and tessellations. visually identify transformations including reflections, rotations, and translations. They discuss how artists have used geometry in their artwork.
In this geometrical transformations worksheet, pupils use their graphing calculator to translate a rectangle. They track the list values and anticipate the next movements.
In this geometry lesson, students collect and analyze data as they investigate relationships between the pre-image and the image of a triangle. They investigate angle measures, side lengths, and the dilation factor. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows students to form and verify conjectures regarding dilations.
Learners explore the concept of transformations. In this transformations lesson plan, students transform figures by reflection and rotation. Learners enter the coordinates into lists and transform the lists. Students transform a set of points that create an arrow.
Twelfth graders explore transforming matrices representing figures in the coordinate plane by entering data points of figures such as triangles and quadrilaterals into a matrix. Students dilate, rotate, reflect, and translate the figures by multiplying by translation matrices.
