Lesson: Translations on a Coordinate Plane Mathematics

Students will be able to

• understand the coordinate transformation that represents a translation,
• translate points, line segments, and shapes on the coordinate plane given the coordinate transformation of the translation,
• translate points, line segments, and shapes on the coordinate plane given the magnitude and direction of the translation,
• convert a translation given as a magnitude and direction to the equivalent coordinate transformation and vice versa and describe a coordinate translation in words,
• understand the properties of translation in the coordinate plane.
