Transformation
In this transformation learning exercise, students identify and solve 10 different problems that include various images. First, they determine whether each object illustrated is a mirror image or reflection of the other image in the...

MT-A141 PreCalculus: Worksheet 6.4
In this precalculus learning exercise, students predict the graph of given functions and draw conclusions about each one. Students define a transformation, and determine the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of given...
Curated OER
Slides, Flips and Turns
Third graders are introduced to different types of transformations. As a class, they describe how a stuffed animal slides across the floor and use themselves to demonstrate as well. Individually, they flip and turn in different...
Curated OER
Reflections of a Quadratic Function
Students compare transformations of a quadratic function on a graph and determine equations of a quadratic functions based on a reflection. They graph a transformation of a function based on reflections. They etermine if a function is...
Curated OER
Translation
Tenth graders identify and interpret vocabulary terms as they relate to vectors. Students practice translations by creating several tessellations. Students determine the direction and distance using vectors. Students use grid paper to...
Curated OER
Motions
Ninth graders differentiate between energy waves transmitted from a quarry or mine as opposed to energy waves transmitted by an earthquake. They analyze seismograms of blast events from at least two quarries or mines. The energy waves...
Curated OER
Totally Tessellations!
Eighth graders investigate the concept of tessellations and transformations. They create patterns to demonstrate and practice the skill. Students write a description of the pattern for others to interpret. The pattern is assessed...
Curated OER
The Tiled Courtyard
Fifth graders use the guess and check technique to solve a problem involving transformations. They work with a grid and criteria provided by the teacher to solve a sequence with black and white rows.
Curated OER
Transformations
Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Christo/Transformations--from Discovering Great Artists
students challenge their imaginations like the artist Christo by transforming an everyday object into something new. Students use everyday objects in order to create something new. Students use materials such as objects found in nature...
