Transformations

Build your own polygon and transform it in the Cartesian coordinate system. Experiment with reflections across any line, revolving around any line (which yields a 3-D image), rotations about any point, and translations in any direction.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12
