NCTM Grades 6-8 Geometry:Specify locations and describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems
Lesson (...) Activity (...)
Activity: Build your own polygon and transform it in the Cartesian coordinate system. Experiment with reflections across any line, revolving around any line (which yields a 3-D image), rotations about any point, and translations in any direction.
Activity: Investigate the Cartesian coordinate system through identifying the coordinates of a randomly generated point, or requesting that a particular point be plotted. General Coordinates Game is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Activity: Plot ordered pairs on the graph, and they will be connected in the order that they are input. This enables you to decide how the pairs should be connected, rather than having the computer connect them from left to right.
Activity: Plot ordered pairs of numbers, either as a scatter plot or with the dots connected. Points are connected from right to left, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
Activity: Explore the world of translations, reflections, and rotations in the Cartesian coordinate system by transforming squares, triangles and parallelograms. Parameters: Shape, x or y translation, x or y reflection, angle of rotation.
