In the activity on this webpage, learners use interactive graphing technology to investigate transformations of graphs. In the first part of the task, they look at the graph of a quadratic function with coordinates of a few points...

In this rigid transformation worksheet, learners follow directions to translate, reflect or rotate a figure in a coordinate plane. Examples and explanations are provided at the beginning of the document. This two-page worksheet contains...

Transform your geometry instruction by incorporating role play into math class. Pupils begin by completing an assessment to locate unknown angles, and then performing a simulation activity to better understand...

This activity guides learners through an exploration of common transformations of the graph of a function. Given the graph of a function f(x), students generate the graphs of f(x + c), f(x) + c, and  cf(x) for...

Students explore what happens when geometric figures are transformed on the coordinate plane. They work in pairs, moving geometric shapes in the plane, and formalize their rules as functions.

In this transformations worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 different types of problems. First, they graph the image of the figure using the transformation given. Then, students find the coordinates of the vertices of each...

Young scholars investigate functions and their transformations. They move absolute value functions around on the coordinate plane, and then define the transformation and plot the new graph. The table feature of the TI-calculator is used...

Students create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Provide an introduction to translations and the notation used to denote a translation on the coordinate plane. An independent practice portion provides the pupils several opportunities to practice the skill of translations along...

Working with transformations allows the class to take a turn for the better. The short assessment has class members perform transformations on the coordinate plane. The translations, reflections, and rotations create pattern designs on...

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

Should matrices be allowed to commute when they are being multiplied? Learners analyze this question to determine if the commutative property applies to matrices. They connect their exploration to transformations, vectors, and complex...

Introduce translations as transformations that move figures in horizontal and vertical distances with a video that shows how to translate the figures. A second video covers how to determine the translation that has occurred. Pupils...

An instructive lesson provides the basics on how to perform rotations on the coordinate plane. The handout also covers rotating about a point other than the origin and how to perform a series of transformations. 

Examine the various rigid transformations and recognize sequences of these transformations. The lesson asks learners to perform sequences of rotations, reflections, and translations. Individuals also describe a sequence that results in...

Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...

High schoolers 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...

Introducing ... the Transmographer. Young mathematicians investigate translations, reflections, and rotations. The applet lets users perform transformations on triangles, squares, and parallelograms.

Model real-life structures with mathematics. A project-based lesson presents a problem situation requiring classes to develop a function to model the St. Louis Arch and the Rainbow Bridge in Arizona. They create their models by...

Young scholars solve problems involving transformations of geometric figures. They review graphing points in the coordinate plain, plot points and connect to create a triangle. Then, they reflect triangles over the x and y axis and use...

Students explore transformations. In this math lesson, students plot points on a coordinate grid and construct shapes. Students discuss movements on the grid as flips, turns and slides.

In this effect of transformations on coordinates worksheet, students determine the coordinates of 4 geometric shapes on a grid after a given transformation.

In this geometry worksheet, students transform a coordinate based on a reflection, translation, or dilation in order to obtain the image. There are 12 questions.

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...
