Given an equilateral triangle, young scholars are asked to explore its symmetries using rigid transformations of the plane. Aligns with G-CO.B.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore how to determine the coordinates of a rotated figure by adjusting the points on the line. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Observe what happens to volume as pressure is changed, and then answer a challenge question after the activity.

In this task, students are shown three unit squares and two line segments connecting two pairs of vertices. They are asked to find the area of a triangle formed by intersecting lines. They can solve it using coordinate geometry or...

A rigid motion of the plane is a map of the plane to itself which preserves distances between points. The purpose of this task is to use fixed points as a tool for studying and classifying rigid motions of the plane, i.e., translations,...

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...

In this activity, students will explore the properties of rotations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Students are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

Using Cabri Jr. and the properties of rotations to get a true understanding of how a figure is rotated about a point.

It is important for students to know what happens to the coordinates of points when they are translated in the coordinate plane. This activity enables students to use Cabri Jr. to develop this understanding.
