Students try to figure out the strategies to the game Noughts. Students logic must play a part in the process of the game. Students apply the symmetries of regular polygons. Students devise ways to critically follow a chain of reasoning.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Translate, rotate, and reflect figures using coordinate notation and graphing in the coordinate plane.

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

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...

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.

In this instructional activity, students choreograph a dance figure by creating a dance graph with descriptions of rotation, reflection, and translation; perform it for their classmates; and translate a classmate's dance map into a...

Mangbetu art shows the use of all four geometric transforms: Reflection, Translation, Rotation, and Scaling. This website will provide you with some cultural background on the Mangbetu and their art. The software will allow you to...

In this activity, students describe how to move a shape from one place to another in a plane. They learn about translations, rotations, and line reflections. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Given geometric figures on the coordinate plane, the student will apply the definition of congruence, in terms of rigid transformations, to identify congruent figures. The student will also identify and distinguish between reflectional...

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...

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...

Find a quick, concise explanation of the transformations of graphs: translations, reflections and rotations. Examples are given and clearly explained for each transformation.

This University of Regina site gives some history and definitions about translations and symmetry.

Given rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations, students will be able to develop algebraic representations for rotations and generalize and then compare and contrast the properties of congruence transformations and...

In this lesson on transformations on coordinate planes, 8th graders explore dilation, translation, reflection, and rotation of shapes within a coordinate plane.

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 hands-on instructional activity uses exploration and discovery to help students determine the coordinates of the vertices of various figures when translated, rotated, or reflected in a coordinate plane. The exploration phase will...

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...

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.

Explore transformations of a polygon that include: 1) translation 2) rotation 3) reflection and 4) dilation.

The student will use the transformations - rotation, reflection, translation - to create common shapes from tangram pattern blocks

This Math Forum site gives visual examples of rotation, translation, reflection, and glide reflection with background information about each. Also gives problems to work on concerning symmetry.

Students use the Geoboard App to measure arcs, line segments, area, and perimeter, as well as rotate, reflect, and translate objects.

Learn how similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation.
