Explains how simple polygons translate into matrices and how to use 2x2 matrices to represent transformations in a plane. Includes video demonstrating an example where a vector must be rotated 90 degrees using matrices. [4:18]

A unique geometry project that asks students to complete a transformation using a picture. Project includes instructions, examples, and quiz questions.

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

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.

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 site is for the purpose of using proofs for geometry. It helps by giving some useful theorems.

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

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

Test your knowledge of rotation of an object and determine the center.

This lesson focuses on rigid transformations, a specific set of rules that convert one geometric figure into another one. There are many different types of transformations, like reflections or rotations. It provides several practice...

A geometry lesson plan providing students practice with transformations and rotations.

This site gives a short interactive quiz which allows students to self-assess their understanding of the concept of rotation.

Test your knowledge of rotation of shapes and determing the center.

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 lesson, young scholars observe symmetry, geometric shapes, and angles in two Early American dances, and then choreograph their own dance with symmetrical figures. Media and teaching materials are included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify and describe transformations in the coordinate plane.

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...

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.

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...

Investigate tessellations using this interactive Learn Alberta math resource. Students will explore transformations, namely line symmetry, rotation symmetry, and translation occurring within a tessellated pattern. Be sure to follow the...

Worksheets provide practice with finding the area or circumference of a circle and answer keys are provided. You can even create your own learning exercise or flashcards.

This presentation provides a tutorial on symmetry. In the tutorial, you will do the following: learn about geometric symmetry, explore line or reflection symmetry, explore rotation symmetry, and explore translation symmetry and frieze...

A basic definition of what rotation is at this site from MathWords.com. Provides a diagram to illustrate the concept. Links to other related concepts included.

Accompanied by links to online activities and demonstrations, students learn about the different types of transformations on a coordinate grid through this lesson plan. The lesson is designed to match the Grade 7 Ontario curriculum, with...
