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 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. Then, students...

The concept of transformation is explored as students use their Ti-Nspire to transform polygons. Students translate, reflect, and rotate various polygons and construct tessellations.

Clearly written, step-by-step guided practice in creating a figure and performing a transformation with the award-winning Geometer's Sketchpad software makes up the first three pages of this resource. Questions ask for explanations of...

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...

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

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 are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle...

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...

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...
