Curated OER
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Get the Picture?
Young scholars show reflection, translation and rotation of a simple coordinate graph picture which they have created.
Curated OER
Rotations, Reflections, and Translations
In this transformations worksheet, students copy the given figures onto grid paper and complete the transformations. Students then find the pictures that show translations, rotations, and reflections. Students finish with two test prep...

Brain Train
A lengthy presentation on geometric reflections is here for your young geometers. Learners consider a shape, then must choose between four reflections to find the one that is a true vertical, horizontal, or diagonal reflection of the...
Curated OER
Twists and Turns
Students reflect, rotate, translate, and dilate figures in the Cartesian coordinate plane using grid paper and dot paper. They use transformations (i.e., reflections, translations, rotations, and dilations) to describe geometric patterns...
Curated OER
Coordinate Graphs, Translations and Reflections
Students perform translations and reflections. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph functions. They move the functions around on the coordinate plane using translation and reflection.

Geometric Transformations
Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Triangle Congruence with Coordinate
Two triangles are displayed on a coordinate plane. Youngsters apply a reflection and a translation to demonstrate their congruence. This exercise makes a terrific tool for teaching these concepts, or a way to assess learning.
