Young scholars are introduced to translations, reflections, and rotations and how to explore them in real-world scenarios.

Get independent practice working with transformations. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This University of Regina site gives some history and definitions about translations and symmetry.

This upper elementary and middle school lesson plan introduces a variety of motion geometry concepts such as translations, reflections, and rotations. Lots of interactive support for students.

For this geometry game, students must guide Transtar, an alien spaceship, across space by applying transformations to it. At the same time, there are dangers to avoid and the number of moves and tries are limited.

This task uses GeoGebra software, which can be freely downloaded, to explore what happens to the line segments and angles of a triangle when it is reflected, rotated, and translated. Includes printable task sheet for students and a...

This site is a Geometer's Sketch Pad lesson plan where students explore tessellations through reflections, rotations, and translations.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at real world examples of transformations found throughout West Edmonton Mall. The accompanying interactive component asks students to predict transformations through looking at...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students use the interactive features in Activstudio to simulate translations and reflections using objects. Students develop and apply their understanding of geometric sense by...

Students will discover how to move a function up, down, to the right or left or reflect it.

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,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Transformations move and modify geometric shapes. There are several types of transformations that all transform figures in different ways. These transformations can...

Students will understand all transformations of functions: translations, dilations and reflections. By the end of the activity students will be able to identify a function transformation, identify the way the graph will change given a...

In this lesson, students will learn how to describe and identify reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations.

Students move their cursor in this activity center to occupy a unique point on a background letter "F" in quadrant 1. Students then together follow a rule for going to a different point (such as "use the opposite of the original x...

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."

This site defines transformation and lists several different examples of transformations. Be sure to follow the links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving...

Find a quick, concise explanation of the transformations of graphs: translations, reflections and rotations. Examples are given and clearly explained for each transformation.

This lesson shows elementary students how they can know that rigid motions like reflections, rotations, and translations create a shape congruent to the original.

This tutorial looks at transformations and investigates how they determine relationships between functions.

Questions related to translations, reflections, rotations, and more can be found on this quiz. Use the links provided to view the quiz in full screen, change the quiz format, review key facts about transformations, and have fun with the...

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.

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 site presents information on the three basic transformations of figures in a plane: Reflections, Rotations, and Translations.
