Transformations Project
Maria Ibarra
I will be teaching 3rd graders about
transformations.
TEKS
Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical
process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional
geometric figures to develop generalizations about their
properties.
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections,
and translations.
Identify line of symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
Transformation
Transformation is any function from the plane to itself that is a
one-to-one correspondence. Each original point in the plane has
an image point in the transformed plane and vice versa.

Translation
Translation is a term used to describe a function that moves a
certain distance. In translation each point of the object must
move the same direction and the same distance.

Reflection
Reflection is when an object is flipped over the line that separates
two planes. Also known to be a mirror image.
Reflection Example

Rotation
Rotation is when you hold an object by the center point and
rotating the object by that center point. The distance from the
center to any point stays the same.
