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

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.

In this lesson, students will learn how to identify, describe, graph, and write geometric reflections and rotations.

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the three types of rigid transformations - translations, rotations, and reflections.

Find a quick, concise explanation of the transformations of graphs: translations, reflections and rotations. Examples are given and clearly explained for each transformation.

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Translate, rotate, and reflect figures using coordinate notation and graphing in the coordinate plane.

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

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.

Shodor Education Foundation provides an applet that "allows the user to explore the world of transformations, reflections, and rotations. It allows the user to translate triangles, squares, and parallelograms on both the x and y-axes."

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 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...

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.

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...

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

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

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at real world examples of transformations found throughout West Edmonton Mall. The accompanying interactive component asks students to predict transformations through looking at...

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.

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

Enjoy constructions created by rotations, reflections and translations. [Requires Java.]

In this instructional activity on transformations and congruence, 8th graders will investigate dilations, rotations, reflections, and translations on the coordinate plane and the figures that result from these transformations.

An introductory look at the interactive Geometer's Sketchpad in terms of using it to explore rotations, translations, and reflections. Only a beginner's amount of skill with the program is needed. Exploration questions are given for the...
