Lesson: Translations on a Coordinate Plane Mathematics • 11th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to translate points, line segments, and shapes on the coordinate plane.

Lesson Plan

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.

Q1:

Find the coordinates of the image of under the translation .

Q2:

Find the images of the points and of the line segment under the translation .

Q3:

In the figure below, determine the coordinates of the points , , , and , where is a translation of by .
