Transformations

Section 11.1

Activity Name Activity Description
TransmoGrapher Students input integer values used by the applet to translate, reflect and rotate a two-dimensional figure on the coordinate plane.
Floor Tiles Students use a graphical interface to deform a square into a general quadrilateral tile pattern. Discussion can focus on the translations and rotations necessary to generate the pattern.
Tessellate! Students use a graphical interface to deform regular polygons into complex interlocking tile patterns. Discussion can focus on the translations and rotations necessary to generate the pattern.
Flake Maker Students create their own fractals by specifying a "line deformation rule" and stepping through the generation of a geometric fractal. Parameters: Grid type, number of bending points on the line.
