(b)Knowledge and skills.
(10)Two-dimensional shapes. The student applies
mathematical process standards to develop
transformational geometry concepts. The student is
expected to:
(A)generalize the properties of orientation and congruence of
rotations, reflections, translations, and dilationsof two-
dimensionalshapeson a coordinate plane;
(B)differentiate between transformations that preserve
congruence and those that do not;
Transformation
A transformation moves a figure to another position without
changing the size or shape.
Three types: Translation, Reflection, and Rotation
Examples of Transformations

Translation
A transformation in which the figure is moved in a straight
direction
TranSLate= SLide
Examples of a Translation
Interactive Translated figure
Below are a few links to interactive activities that will
help gain a better understanding of translations.

Reflection
A transformation in which an object is reflected across a line, resulting in
a mirrored image.
The line used to reflect the object is known as the Line of Reflection
ReFLection= FLip
Examples of Reflections
Interactive Reflected Figures
Below are a few links to interactive activities that will
help gain a better understanding of reflections.

Rotation
A transformation in which an object rotates around a fixed
center point.
Examples of Rotations

Below are a few links to interactive activities that will
help gain a better understanding of rotations.
