IM Geo.1.10 Lesson: Rigid Transformations
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Draw each rigid transformation. Use the Style Bar to choose a different color for each one. Translate figure along the line segment in the direction shown by the arrow. Color:_____________
Reflect figure across line . Color: _____________
Reflect figure across line . Color: _____________
Translate figure along the line segment in the direction shown by the arrow. Reflect this image across line . Color: _____________
How are the images the same?
How are they different?
Here is an applet with 3 congruent L shapes on a grid.
Describe a sequence of transformations that will take Figure A onto Figure B.
If you reverse the order of your sequence, will the reverse sequence still take onto ?
Describe a sequence of transformations that will take Figure onto Figure .
If you reverse the order of your sequence, will the reverse sequence still take onto ?
Construct some examples of sequences of two rigid transformations that take Figure A to a new Figure D where reversing the order of the sequence also takes Figure A to Figure D.
Make some conjectures about when reversing the order of a sequence of two rigid transformations still takes a figure to the same place.
