Geometry 

Video Summary 

These videos address the transformations of translations, reflections, and rotations. We use wax paper as a method of learning how transformations can be drawn which then helps us see the rules of each transformation. By the end of these videos, teachers should understand how to see these rules with the use of wax paper and without any additional tools. Teachers should also understand that these transformations result in congruent shapes. All the methods of learning transformations can also be used in a classroom.

Next Generation Math Standards Addressed

NY-8.G.2 Know that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the corresponding angles are

congruent and the corresponding sides are congruent. Equivalently, two two-dimensional figures

are congruent if one is the image of the other after a sequence of rotations, reflections, and

translations. Given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that maps the congruence

between them on the coordinate plane

NY-8.G.3 Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates

EO-G.CO.5 Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the

transformed figure. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given

figure onto another
