Transformational Geometry

Looking for a strategy to organize the information related to transformations? The materials ask pupils to identify a sequence of rigid transformations, identify corresponding angles and sides, and write a congruence statement. They...

In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 27 various types of problems that include similar figures and justifying answers. First, they dilate the shape shown using a zoom factor from the origin....

Rigid motions are to congruence as what are to similarity? Investigate properties of rigid motions and define congruence in terms of rigid motions with the ninth chapter of a 10-part eighth grade workbook series. The lesson then prompts...

How is it transforming? Using videos on metamorphosis, hook the class with this STEM plan on transformations. The open inquiry lesson instructs the class to explore the effects of transformation on the coordinate plane. Groups develop...

Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

High schoolers explore the concept of transformations.  In this transformations lesson plan, students enter data into lists and make a scatter plot of points.  High schoolers use lists to transform the data points by shifting the points,...

Patty paper isn't just for separating meat. The lesson uses an inexpensive way to experiment with rigid transformations. Pupils use patty paper to create images after a translation, reflection, and rotation. Given a formative assessment,...

Double the transformations, double the fun! Using the knowledge of transformations, the video combines two transformations of figures on the coordinate plane. The segment of a geometry playlist, finds a single transformation that will...

Geometric transformations in algebra ... what? Given four transformations, the narrator explains how each affect the graph of the original function. The transformations involve translations and reflections, both horizontally and...

A transformation is the process of changing the graph of a figure or a shape. The instructor introduces the four most common transformations: reflection, dilation, rotation, and translation. So watch as she draws the transformations on a...
