Translations and Rotations

Section 12-1

Activity Name Activity Description
TransmoGrapher Students input integer values used by the applet to translate, reflect and rotate a two-dimensional figure on the coordinate plane.
Floor Tiles Students use a graphical interface to deform a square into a general quadrilateral tile pattern. Discussion can focus on the translations and rotations necessary to generate the pattern.
Tessellate! Students use a graphical interface to deform regular polygons into complex interlocking tile patterns. Discussion can focus on the translations and rotations necessary to generate the pattern.
Slope Slider Students use translations to manipulate the slope and intercept values of a linear function of the form f(x)=mx+b as plotted in the cartesian coordinate system.
