Free Transformation Trace Cards




These 36 transformation chore cards are perfect to brand feel of in addition to reinforce transformations in addition to coordinate rules.  There are 12 matching sets roofing rotations, reflections, dilations in addition to translations.  Each laid upwards includes a visual of the transformation, the corresponding coordinate rule, in addition to a written explanation of the transformation.  These are perfect to brand feel of transformations equally good equally to reinforce the concepts.

Possible Questions to Accompany Task Cards:
Given the visual transformation write a coordinate rule
Given the visual transformation explicate inward words what is happening inward the transformation
• Given a coordinate dominion describe a visual transformation that follows the rule
Given a coordinate dominion explicate whether the novel figure volition live congruent and/or similar to the master figure
Given a coordinate dominion explicate inward words what is happening amongst the transformation
Given the written description write a coordinate rule
Given the written description describe a graph that follow the rules
Make Sense of Transformations:
  *Higher-order thinking ideas to assistance students brand feel of transformations.
  Laminate cards (or house inward plastic sleeves) in addition to then that students tin write on the cards amongst a dry out erase marker. 
Reflections:
  Have students connect corresponding points in addition to uncovering that the lines are parallel but non the same length.  Ask them if this volition ever live the case. Have them justify their reasoning.  They tin describe additional reflections in addition to proceed to analyze.  Have them practise reflecting over lines that are non the axes.  Challenge them to write a coordinate dominion for their novel reflection.  Again, accept them analyze lines connecting corresponding points, are they yet parallel?  How do the lines compare to the trouble of reflection?  They should uncovering that the lines are perpendicular.
Rotations:
  Have students connect alone 1 laid upwards of corresponding points to the centre of rotation in addition to mensurate the created angle amongst a protractor.  Students should live able to verify that this is the bird of rotation.  Also, guide the students to uncovering that the length of their lines are likewise the same length.  You tin motility deeper into this persuasion yesteryear using compasses. Ask the students if corresponding points volition ever live the same distance from the centre of rotation.  Have students justify their reasoning.   Students tin practise rotating the figure varying total of degrees. 
Translation:
  Have students connect corresponding points in addition to uncovering that the lines are parallel, in addition to the same magnitude (length)  Will this ever live the case? Will the lines ever live parallel in addition to the same length?  Have them justify their reasoning.  Have them describe to a greater extent than translations in addition to proceed to analyze in addition to justify their reasoning. 
Dilations:

  Have students connect corresponding points in addition to extend the lines until they intersect.  Students should uncovering that these lines intersect at the centre of dilation.  Challenge them to describe a novel dilation amongst a dissimilar centre of dilation in addition to cheque their thinking.
