Translation and Reflection
Bring about the change you want to see in the world or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

Dilation
Open up your pupils' eyes and minds on dilations. Scholars perform dilations on a trapezoid on the coordinate plane. They compare the image to the preimage and develop generalizations about dilations.

Rotation
Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.
