Enlargements
Make enlargements with and without centers. Pupils work through seven problems dealing with dilations or enlargements. The first couple items are strict enlargements without centers, while the others have centers. Class members also...

Reflections
Tracing paper is not just for art anymore — pupils can use it to find reflected images, too! Two videos show how to reflect images using tracing paper and find the reflection between the pre-image and image. Learners perform reflections...

Rotation
Two videos show first how to perform a rotation, given the center, the angle, and the direction of rotations. Individuals then see how to find what the rotation is from one figure to another. Pupils practice doing both in seven problems...

Using Transformations to Sketch a Graph
Watch as a function becomes transformed one step at a time. The instructor begins with a parent function and analyzes the transformations applied to it. She methodically applies each one with a new graph until reaching the complete...

What is a Transformation?
A transformation is the process of changing the graph of a figure or a shape. The instructor introduces the four most common transformations: reflection, dilation, rotation, and translation. So watch as she draws the transformations on a...

How Do You Make a Figure Larger Using a Dilation?
A dilation increases or decreases the size of a figure. In this lesson the teacher shows you how to use a scale factor of three to dilate the given figure. She identifies the ordered pairs, multiplies them by three, plots the new...

What is a Translation?
A translation means moving a figure to another location by sliding it. The figure, called the image, maintains its size and shape. You can move the image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both.

How Do You Use a Graph to Reflect a Figure Over the X-Axis?
A reflection is just what you think it is, a mirror image. So how do you reflect a figure on a graph? Just flip it over. The teacher illustrates how to select a line of reflection (the x-axis) and make the calculations to flip the figure.

What is a Rotation?
Transformations, isn't that geometry? The instructor illustrates how to rotate a shape around a fixed point on a graph, keeping the shape the same size.

What is a Reflection?
There are many ways to transform geometric figures. This lesson will illustrate how to reflect figures over a line to get a mirror image of the figure. The teacher will draw three different reflections: one as reflected over the y-axis,...

What Does the Constant 'k' do in y = |x|+k?
How do you translate absolute value equations vertically? What's a parent equation? What is a constant k in an equation? How does the value of the constant k change the graph of the equation vertically? So many questions. Watch as the...

How Do You Use a Graph to Translate a Figure Vertically?
Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane vertically by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that for...

How Do You Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Vertically?
Transform the figure six units vertically down. Use the given coordinate points to translate by subtracting 6 from each of the given y-values. Then plot the new coordinates points and connect the dots.

How Do You Use a Graph to Translate a Figure Horizontally?
Transformations. Learn a little bit of geometry. See how to translate a geometric figure on a coordinate plane horizontally by sliding it over. Simply pick a point on the figure and count the units you want to move it. Then repeat that...

How Do You Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Horizontally?
There are many ways to transform a figure on a coordinate plane. This problem requires the movement to be four units horizontally to the right. Using the original coordinate pairs, a positive 4 can be added to each x-value to get the new...
