Young mathematicians explore the concept of transformations by constructing a polygon on their calculator using lists. High schoolers transform the polygon using lists and reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate polygons.
Young mathematicians explore how to graph absolute value equations and how these equations can be translated vertically and horizontally. They also use coordinate geometry to locate objects in both two and three dimensions.
Middle schoolers identify polygons and determine if the polygon is convex or concave. They compare polygons and discuss what makes each similar to the other. Pupils create tessellations with regular polygons, and identify a translation, reflection, and rotation on a coordinate grid. Learners identify characteristics of polygons and complete a chart. They compare interior angles to exterior angles.
Students work in cooperative groups to manipulate a figure on the computer to demonstrate different types of geometric transformations. They generate formulas that can be used to translate different figures.
Tenth graders explore transformations. In this geometry activity, 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.
Can you translate a graph? Using the packet and its step-by-step instructions, the class is taught how to translate parent functions. They will practice translating functions graphically and algebraically. Then they shift absolute value, quadratic, and exponential graphs.
Mathematicians analyze the vertex form of a parabola and find an approximate fit of a model. They explain the quadratic parabola function and its properties by developing quadratic models. They use translation and dilation to change the general parabola. PDF downloads of the lab activity are included.
In this translation worksheet, pupils translate points according to given equations. They plot points on a coordinate plane. This two-page worksheet contains five problems. Answers are provided on the last page.
In this geometrical transformations worksheet, pupils use their graphing calculator to translate a rectangle. They track the list values and anticipate the next movements.
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. Learners dilate, rotate, reflect, and translate the figures by multiplying by translation matrices.
