1. Introduction to transformational GEOMETRY
Grade 6 Geometry Unit

2. Think, Pair, share
In your group, make a list of words and phrases that you think of when you think of geometry
Then, make a separate list for words and terms you think of when you think of transformational geometry

3. Minds on!!!
Look at the following picture and answer the following questions with a table partner... 1) Which figures do you see? 2) Which transformations are shown?

4. Transformations
There are three different types of transformations: 1) Translations 2) Reflections 3) Rotations

5. Translation After a translation, a figure and its image: Are congruent
Face the same way

6. What are the original coordinates? What are the translated coordinates

7. reflections After a reflection, a figure and its image: Are congruent
Face opposite ways

8. What are the original coordinates? What are the reflected coordinates

9. What would be the coordinates if this shape was reflected downwards

10. rotations After a rotation, a figure and its image: Are congruent
May face different ways
Figures can rotate clockwise (to the right) or counter clockwise (to the left)
Figures can make quarter turns (90 degrees), half turns (180 degrees), or three quarter turns (270 degrees)

11. How was this rotated?
