Shodor Education Foundation provides an applet that "allows the user to explore the world of transformations, reflections, and rotations. It allows the user to translate triangles, squares, and parallelograms on both the x and y-axes."

Find a clear explanation of similar figures. Discusses how they can be transformed through a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations. Explanations are supported with illustrated examples.

This study guide on the composition of transformations covers some vocabulary terms and different types of these compositions. It is available for download with free registration.

Students learn about geometry by investigating different shapes and their properties. Topics include plane geometry, drafting tools, transformations, angles, and trigonometry.

Students learn about transformations. Topics explored are resizing, types of transformations, and congruent shapes. Examples and definitions are included.

Great resource to practice and strengthen math skills pertaining to Geometry. Math worksheets are printable, may be customized, and include answer keys.

A geometry lesson plan providing students practice with transformations and rotations.

Site that focuses on planar pattern and transformations within geometry. It also identifies different kinds of symmetry.

Learn how a translation moves or slides an object a fixed distance in a given direction, as defined by a vector.

In this activity the teacher will send two lists, a window range, and an educational document via the TI-Navigator. Students will explore the reflections and rotations of a shape in the rectangular coordinate system.

A collection of diagrams that complement Mathematics 8, a Grade 8 Math text, have been posted here. The diagrams were created using The Geometer's Sketchpad,

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.]

Investigate dilations using this interactive resource. Students are given an opportunity to explore how scale factors can be used to enlarge or reduce the size of a given figure. Be sure to follow the link to the printable activities,...

Use the interactive transformation tool to perform dilations for four problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Learn what happens when two or more transformation are combined. You get a composition of transformations, and this resource offers a definition, example notation, and information on renaming a composition.

This site offers a short discussion of transformations. The discussion has few pictures and expresses the transformations in terms of relative coordinates rather than pictures.

This Regents Prep site contains numerous problems concerning line reflections. Each multiple choice problem contains a short explanation.

In this exercise, students practice performing translations on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

In this exercise, students practice performing rotations on a coodinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

In this exercise, students practice performing reflections on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

This site offers a very basic discussion of dilations. It explains what a scaling factor is and provides illustrations.

Explains, with examples, what a translation is. Includes tutorials and practice activities.

Given an equilateral triangle, learners are asked to explore its symmetries using rigid transformations of the plane. Aligns with G-CO.B.
