Transformations

Interactive Notes

Translations, Dilations, Rotations and Reflections

This product involves four pages of interactive notes on
translations, dilations, rotations and reflections. Each note page
provides an opportunity for students to complete the definition,
examine and compare the angles and sides of the images, list the
pre-image and image coordinates and to describe in words the
transformation completed. A graph is provided with the pre-image.
Students can use colored pencils to graph the additional images.

An answer key is provided.

Complete the notes on transformations. Cut out the notes along the dotted lines and glue them in your notebook.
