Classroom Activity #1 “Reflection on a Coordinate Plane” Quadrilateral AXYW has vertices Quadrilateral AXYW has vertices A(-2, 1), X(1, 3), Y(2, -1), and W(-1, -2). Graph AXYW and its image under reflection in the Graph AXYW and its image under reflection in the x-axis. x-axis. Compare the coordinates of each vertex with the coordinates of its image. Compare the coordinates of each vertex with the coordinates of its image. Activity 1 Answer

Activity #1 – Answer Use the vertical grid lines to find a corresponding point for each vertex so that the x-axis is equidistant from each vertex and its image. A(-2, 1)  A(-2, -1) X(1, 3)  X(1, -3) Y(2, -1)  Y(2, 1)W(-1, -2)  W(-1, 2) Plot the reflected vertices and connect to form the image AXYW. The x-coordinates stay the same, but the y-coordinates are opposite. That is, (a, b)  (a, -b). Activity #2

Classroom Activity #2 “Translations in the Coordinate Plane” Quadrilateral ABCD has vertices A(1, 1), B(2, 3), C(5, 4), and D(6, 2). A(1, 1), B(2, 3), C(5, 4), and D(6, 2). Graph ABCD and its image for the translation (x, y) (x - 2, y - 6). (x, y) (x - 2, y - 6). Activity 2 Answer

Activity 2 – Answer This translation moved every point of the preimage 2 units left and 6 units down. A(1, 1)  A(1 - 2, 1 - 6) or A(-1, -5) B(2, 3)  B(2 - 2, 3 - 6) or B(0, -3) C(5, 4)  C(5 - 2, 4 - 6) or C(3, -2) D(6, 2)  D(6 - 2, 2 - 6) or D(4, -4) Plot the translated vertices and connect to form quadrilateral ABCD. Activity #3

Classroom Activity #3 “Rotation on the Coordinate Plane” Triangle DEF has vertices D(2, 2,), E(5, 3), and F(7, 1). Draw the image of  DEF under a rotation of 45˚ clockwise about the origin. Activity 3 Answer

Activity #3 - Answer First graph  DEF. Draw a segment from the origin O, to point D. Use a protractor to measure a 45° angle clockwise Use a compass to copy onto. Name the segment. Repeat with points E and F.  DEF is the image  DEF under a 45° clockwise rotation about the origin. Student Page

Glossary Transformation – In a plane, a mapping for which each point has exactly one image point and each image point has exactly one preimage point. Reflection - A transformation representing a flip of a figure over a point, line, or plane. Rotation - A transformation that turns every point of a preimage through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. Translation – A transformation that moves all points of a figure the same distance in the same direction. Isometry – A mapping for which the original figure and its image are congruent Glossary Cont.

Glossary Continued Angle of Rotation – The angle through which a preimage is rotated to form the image. Center of Rotation – A fixed point around which shapes move in circular motion to a new position. Line of Reflection – a line through a figure that separates the figure into two mirror images Line of Symmetry – A line that can be drawn through a plane figure so that the figure on one side is the reflection image of the figure on the opposite side. Point of Symmetry – A common point of reflection for all points of a figure. Rotational Symmetry – If a figure can be rotated less that 360 o about a point so that the image and the preimage are indistinguishable, the figure has rotated symmetry. Student Page
