VIC: Transformations 1 - Translations, a graphical approach

by Frank Moya

Objectives

The aim of this activity is for students to develop an understanding of translations through algebra rather than memorising formats and associating potentially erroneous logic.

Vocabulary

  • Transformation
  • Translation
  • Towards or Away from axis
  • Horizontal or Vertical

About the Lesson

Students can edit the algebra that defines the translated point. The discrete connection between the algebra and the visual helps students understand the connections.
