Are All Parabolas Similar?
Congruence and similarity apply to functions as well as polygons. Learners examine the effects of transformations on the shape of parabolas. They determine the transformation(s) that produce similar and congruent functions.

Matrix Multiplication and Addition
To commute or not to commute, that is the question. The 26th segment in a 32-segment lesson focuses on the effect of performing one transformation after another one. The pupils develop the procedure in order to multiply two 2 X 2...

Linear Transformations as Matrices
Don't stop with two-dimensional learning, go to the next dimension! Learners verify that 3x3 matrices represent linear transformations in the third dimension. Additionally, they verify the algebraic properties that extend to vector...

Equation of a Circle
High schoolers write the equation of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students check the solution of a coordinate pair by evaluating them. They graph the circle given the equation and radius.

Transformations and Translations
In this transformations/translation worksheet, students draw transformations based on shapes and vectors of given translations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Geometry Scavenger Hunt
Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Illustrative Mathematics: G Gpe Scaling a Triangle in the Coordinate Plane
The goal of this task is to apply dilations to a triangle in the coordinate plane. Students will need to find the coordinates of a point which cuts a given segment into one third and into two thirds. The two dilated triangles share a...

Nearpod: Transformations & Congruence
In this lesson on transformations and congruence, 8th graders will investigate dilations, rotations, reflections, and translations on the coordinate plane and the figures that result from these transformations.
