North Carolina Standard Course of Study
Technical Mathematics I
Algebra
Competency Goal 3: The learner will describe the transformation of polygons in the coordinate plane algebraically.
Lessons (1)
Introduces students to concepts of transformations.
Activities (2)
Explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by transforming squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation.
Build your own polygon and transform it in the Cartesian coordinate system. Experiment with reflections across any line, rotations about any point, and translations in any direction. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation
