Mathematical Goals
Demonstrate knowledge of transformations according to rules given and create their own
rule for a transformation.
Essential Questions
How do I apply what Ive learned about transformations to figures in the coordinate
plane?
Georgia Standards of Excellence
MGSE9-12.G.CO.1 Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line
segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a
circular arc.
Date__________________
Draw a rectangle, parallelogram, square, or isosceles trapezoid in the coordinate plane so that
portions of the shape are in each of the four quadrants. Explain what would happen to your shape
if you transformed it using each of the given rules.
y
1. (x, y)
2. (x, y)
3. (x + 3, y)
4. (x, y 2)
5. (x 1, y + 4)
6. (2x, 2y)
7. (x, y)
8. (3x + 2, y 1)
9. Which of the transformed figures are congruent to the original figure? Explain.
10. Which of the transformed figures are NOT congruent to the original figure? Are any of these
figures similar? Explain.
11. If you make a new figure by adding 2 to the x and ycoordinates of each side of your shape,
will the two figures be congruent, similar, or neither? Explain.
12. Create a rule or set of rules to make a 90 rotation of your figure. Explain how you decided
the rules for both x and y coordinates.
Point in Quadrant I:
In general:
(x, y)
(_________, _________)
13. Will a 90 rotation of any shape create congruent or similar figures? Explain.
14. What general conclusion can be made determining which transformations will produce
congruent figures in the plane?
15. Describe a transformation (or a series of transformations) that will transform your figure onto
itself. Explain how you know this will transform your figure onto itself.
16. Describe a transformation that will make each side of the image parallel to the corresponding
side of the preimage. Explain why this results in parallel lines.
17. Describe a transformation that will make each side of the image perpendicular to the
corresponding side of the preimage. Explain why this results in parallel lines.
