This PowerPoint provides opportunities for students to explore geometric transformations. Students examine the position of figures in several photographs and identify each pair as reflections, rotations, or translations.

Young scholars discuss the concepts of reflection, rotation, and translation. In this rotation activity, students investigate rotations through examples on an overhead projector. No additional worksheet or student assignment is included.

In this frieze pattern worksheet, students draw frieze patterns that can be constructed from a given motif. They perform translations, glide reflections, horizontal and vertical reflections and 180 degree rotations. This one-page...

Students define reflection, rotation and symmetry. In this symmetry lesson, students move the graph around the coordinate plane and identify the line of symmetry. They identify the different designs of a kaleidoscope.

Use this geometry learning exercise to have learners answer ten multiple choice questions based on their knowledge of transforming congruent figures.

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

For any study of upper-level geometry, this presentation could be of good use. It defines three important concepts: transformation, reflection, and rotation. Although brief, this presentation could easily be used in tandem with problems...

Students transform polygons.  In this tessellating lesson, students design a picture containing a translation and a rotation.  They create a template of a translation or a rotation.  Students tessellate and decorate a...

Learners differentiate between translation, reflection and rotation. They explore the 3 types of transformation using Cabri Jr. and build on previous knowledge in this lesson plan.

Middle schoolers solve and identify 10 different problems that include transformations and identifying translations. They determine if each figure is an example of a translation and explain how each figure may or may not be a...

In this geometric transformations worksheet, 4th graders choose how three shapes have been transformed, either reflected, rotated or translated.

In this congruence statements worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 16 various types of problems. First, they complete each congruence statement listed. Then, students graph each set of points on the coordinate plane provided. They...

Viewers learn how to identify and perform a variety of transformations with a video that provides seven items on transformations. Pupils demonstrate their understanding of dilations, reflections, rotations, and translations. The video...

In this reflection, translation and rotation worksheet, students determine which of these things have been done to s set of figures. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Translating complex numbers is as simple as adding 1, 2, 3. In the ninth lesson in a 32-part series, the class takes a deeper look at the geometric effect of adding and subtracting complex numbers. The resource leads pupils into what it...

Here are four questions which require learners to examine four pairs of visual analogies and then choose a figure that completes a missing part of an analogy that is the same as the one shown. They then get to create their own visual...

Pupils identify symmetry in road signs. In this geometry lesson, students explore objects in the real world for symmetry. They perform translation, rotation and reflection.

Use this transformations worksheet to have learners describe given transformations. They identify rotations, reflections, and congruent images. This two-page worksheet contains three multi-step problems.

This resource guides young geometers to create new polygons from others of equal area, compare an image to its reflection and find errors, conduct repeated reflections, map translations, and determine center of rotation. No solutions are...

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

In this transformations worksheet, learners complete multiple choice questions about the transformations of congruent figures. They complete 10 problems.

Learners use the CABRI application for their graphing calculator to rotate, translate, and reflect triangles. They use graphing calculators and follow detailed directions to manipulate triangles in specified ways. There are three...

In this transformation of alphabet letters worksheet, students choose whether three alphabet letters have been reflected, rotated or translated.

In this identifying transformations activity, 3rd graders look at three figures and choose reflected, rotated or translated to indicate how it has been transformed.
