line of reflection
parallel lines

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Rotate, Reflect And Translate Parallel Lines. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Experiment with translations (sliding a figure in a particular direction for a particular distance), rotations (rotates around a particular point called the center of rotation) and reflections (flipping a point or figure over a particular line called the line of reflection).
Two figures are considered the same if one can be superimposed on the other.
Reflections, rotations, and translations, and compositions of these, are called rigid motions.
Use transparencies to experiment with rigid motions.
Terminology for transformations, image, pre-image, and preserve are used to describe the effects of rigid motions and other transformations.
Use all transformations in experimentation with parallel lines to see that their distance relative to one another does not change when performing any transformations.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What characteristic makes two lines parallel to each other? An object is moved from one place to another - how could I describe this movement? What do you think transformation might mean for math? What stays the same and what changes in rigid motion transformations?

After the Game

Does the direction matter when rotating an image 180 degrees? In the example with the pencil, how were the two rotations that were shown different? How is a reflection different from a rotation? How did the windmill demonstrate both translation and rotation?
