Section 1: Transformations in the Coordinate Plane

Standards:

3.1.1 Perform transformations on points in a plane.

3.1.2 Express transformations using function notation.

3.1.3 Prove that a rigid motion transformation maps an object to a congruent object.

3.1.4 Solve problems involving rigid motion transformations.

3.1.5 Prove that a similarity transformation maps an object to a similar object.

3.1.6 Solve problems involving similarity transformations.

Essential Question:

How can the coordinate plane help me understand properties of reflections, translations and rotations?  What is the relationship between reflections, translations and rotations?  How does a dilation transform a figure?
