Area of a Shape on a Grid
What does a grid have to do with area? Well, just about everything! Learners view composite shapes on a grid and watch as the video instructor finds their areas. The examples use shapes composed of rectangles and triangles. Scholars...

Finding the Mirror Line
Where does the reflection come from? The vivdeo starts with a quick review of the form of the equation of horizontal and vertical lines and diagonals passing through the origin. Using a pre-image and an image of a reflected figure, the...

When Pi is Not 3.14
Isn't pi supposed to be constant? An intriguing video shows how the value of pi can change when the definition of distance varies. It explains how using various L^p metrics, where p = 2 represents the traditional Euclidean metric,...

Midpoint of a Segment (Example)
Finding the midpoint is as simple as finding the middle. Given a graph of a segment, a video tutorial demonstrates how to find the midpoint. The instructor uses the midpoint formula and then reinforces the calculations with the graph.

Enlargements
Count on the scale to enlarge a figure. The video shows how to create an enlargement given a scale factor and a center of enlargement. The presenter multiplies the vertical and horizontal distance by the scale factor to find the new...

Distance Between Two Points
How does the Pythagorean Theorem become the distance formula? The video instructor begins by explaining the application of the distance formula. She then shows graphically how the distance formula is just an extension of the Pythagorean...

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.

Transformation - Reflection: Lesson
Looking into a mirror is not the same on a coordinate plane. A portion of an extensive playlist on basic geometry provides the rules to find the coordinates of points after a reflection over one of the axis. Using the rules, the video...

How Do You Find the Center of a Circle?
The center of the circle is the center of attention for the resource. A brief video in the Socratica Geometry playlist shows how to find the center of a circle not on the coordinate plane. The method here is to construct the...

Measuring Distances: Lesson
Let's rule the coordinate plane. By reviewing the marking on rulers, the video discusses how to determine the measurement between two points. The resource, a portion of a basic geometry playlist, determines the length of a side of a...

Composing Transformations: Lesson
Double the transformations, double the fun! Using the knowledge of transformations, the video combines two transformations of figures on the coordinate plane. The segment of a geometry playlist, finds a single transformation that will...

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 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 a Graph to Reflect a Figure Over the Y-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 y-axis) and make the calculations to flip the figure.

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...
Curated OER
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.

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,...
