Translation of Shapes
Geometers graph figure translations, find coordinates for transformed figures, and write rules to describe transformations presented. The 2-page learning exercise contains 14 problems, with answer key attached.
Curated OER
Transformations and Translations in Geometry
In this transformations and translations in Geometry worksheet, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.
Curated OER
Lively Math
Scholars realize the importance of reading and correct interpretation when engaging in mathematical problem solving. This begins with the understanding of vocabulary and the translation from numeric to algebraic and algebraic to numeric.
Curated OER
Math in Literature and Life
Pupils read poems, read phrases, and create a poster for what math is and relate it back to literature. They also discuss the impact math has had on literature.
