Given two figures on the coordinate plane, find the formal definition of the reflection that takes one figure to another. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive...

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and a center of a rotation, find the angle for the rotation that maps one figure to the other. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

Given a figure and a definition of a translation, draw the image. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Find the reflection that maps a given figure to another and draw the image of a reflection. The lines of reflection in this exercise have a wide range of slopes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try...

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and the definition of a rotation about an arbitrary point, draw the image of that rotation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video,...

Given a figure on the coordinate plane and the definition of a rotation about the origin, draw the image of that rotation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or...

Given a figure and a definition of a reflection, draw the image. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore how to determine the coordinates of a rotated figure by adjusting the points on the line. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

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.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Observe what happens to volume as pressure is changed, and then answer a challenge question after the activity.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this tutorial, students learn about the rules that operate in the rotation of 2-D figures on a coordinate grid. Includes video, lots of examples, review...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept introduces geometric rotations.

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.

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,...

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."

In this activity, students will explore the properties of rotations and the relationships between the original and image figures.

In this task, seven pennies are placed in a circle so that they are all touching one in the center and their neighbors. Students are asked to find as many rigid motions of the plane as they can which are symmetries of this configuration...

The objective of this lesson is for students to, "explore spatial relationships by determining the area of various shapes and creating tessellation patterns." Using a variety of hands-on activities, students apply concepts of geometry,...

Using Cabri Jr. and the properties of rotations to get a true understanding of how a figure is rotated about a point.

Students explore slides, flips, and turns in this interactive web lesson.

Test your knowledge of rotation of shapes and determing the center.

Test your knowledge of rotation of an object and determine the center.

At the Food Market there are a lot of shapes. Help Afia find and name the shapes.

This site gives some examples of line reflection transformations. Includes coordinate graphs to show reflections of lines and shapes.
