What educators are saying
Great resource for distance learning. My students were engaged in the content and the learning task.
This was a great way for students to visually see the different types of transformations. Hands On activities are perfect for my students!

Description
Build conceptual understanding of transformations on a coordinate plane with this hands-on inquiry activity. This lesson is perfect for introducing translations, reflections, and rotations. Students will discover how these rigid transformations affect the coordinate points.
Here's what is included in this resource:
- Activity guide for teacher
- Coordinate grid for students to translate, reflect, and rotate shapes
- Student handout with instructions and questions
- Shapes for students to choose from (or create their own)
- 2 Versions of the activity: with cut-out shapes or with tracing paper
- Sample answer sheet*
*A sample answer key is provided but answers will vary depending on the shapes used.
I love teaching transformations! This activity keeps students engaged and builds a great foundation for understanding.
This resource is packed full. Check out the preview for all the details.

CCSS8.G.A.1
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
CCSS8.G.A.1a
Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
CCSS8.G.A.1b
Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
CCSS8.G.A.1c
Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
CCSS8.G.A.2
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
