Transformations
Geometry in life-sized dimensions! Using enlarged graph paper, pupils perform a series of transformations. By recording the initial and final placement of the images, they are able to analyze the patterns in the coordinates during a...
Mathematics Assessment Project
Representing and Combining Transformations
Transform your learners into master geometers with an activity that asks them to first complete an assessment task drawing the result after transformation of a given shape in the coordinate plane. They then use cards to...
Curated OER
Visual Analogies
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...
Curated OER
Dilations and Similarity
For this dilations and similarity worksheet, pupils solve 10 different problems that include various dilations. First, they determine the scale factor of dilations found in the illustrated graphs. Then, everyone determines the...

Transforming Congruent Figures: Post Test
In this transformations worksheet, learners complete multiple choice questions about the transformations of congruent figures. They complete 10 problems.
Curated OER
Geometry: Transformations Practice
Graph transformations, write rules to describe transformations, find coordinates of vertices after given transformations: geometers practice these skills on a two-page learning exercise in 14 problems. No answers are provided.
Curated OER
Transformations
Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...
Curated OER
Transformations in the Coordinate Plane: Practice
In this transformations worksheet, students identify the coordinates of triangle MNO after completing three translations and one reflection. Students use the triangle MNO with given coordinates to complete each transformation on the same...
Curated OER
Rotations
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.
Curated OER
Families of Functions
For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders shift the absolute value function horizontally and vertically, stretch and shrink, and reflect parent function. The two page worksheet contains three problems. Answers are not provided.
Curated OER
Millennium Bridge
Students read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants and state where a shape will be after translation. They explore the concept of translation using a a four quadrant grid of the of River Tyne running through all 4 quads. In...
Curated OER
Transformations
In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include various types of transformations. First, they label each figure with the correct term listed on the top. Students also...
Curated OER
Indonesian Proverbs
Seventh graders study a SouthEast Asian language and culture. They say, translate, and interpret three Asian proverbs and complete a discussion worksheet about what they experienced.

Tantalizing Tangrams: What Are Transformations?
Students use the Internet to learn about transformations and tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students use the Internet to define the meaning of reflections, translations, rotations, glide reflection and symmetry. ...
Curated OER
Transformations
In this algebra worksheet, learners identify different transformations based on the x and y axis reflections. They use vectors to do their translations. There are 28 questions.
Curated OER
Transforming Triangles
Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...
