These exercises are compositions of rigid motions. All transformations are presented in function notation per common core standards. There are 3 pairs of commuted compositions. The students will be able to see that compositions of transformations are not commutative - order matters. The reflections are all presented in slope-intercept form.

This is a matching activity for polynomial graphing. Students must match a polynomial equation to its graph using knowledge of end behavior and root multiplicity.

This is an ActivInspire flip chart focused on transformations. All of the transformations are presented in function notation, as per common core standards. There are mechanical questions (produce an ordered pair after a transformation), and there are "theory" questions (A figure is rotated. Point B and Point B' have the same coordinates. What do you know about Point B?). As with regular jeopardy, the questions increase in difficulty as the point values increase. All of the "actions" on the

This activity guides students to discover the angle pair properties when a transversal crosses a pair of parallel lines through the use of rigid motions as per common core standards. The activity requires the students to already be familiar with the terms corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and same-side interior angles. It also requires the students to know how to perform basic rigid motions (transformations).

This is a handout for Algebra 2 students that highlights parabolas and all of their properties. It includes domain, range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing intervals, min/max, axis of symmetry, vertex, focus, directrix, and examples of each form. This is intended to be used as a study aid during the parabola unit.

This exercise covers the graphs and properties of parabolas written in vertex form, standard form, and intercept form. It is intended for Algebra 2 students, but will work for any course that studies conic sections.

This exercise is designed to walk students through the discovery of the function transformation rules. It is part of both the Common Core Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 courses. The only prior knowledge that is required is to be able to evaluate absolute values. A lesson formalizing the function transformation rules should follow this exercise.

This is a group activity in which the students will practice how to rotate points and figures in the coordinate plane. They will rotate about the origin, as well as other centers of rotation. The activity uses function notation for rotations as outlined by the common core standards for Geometry.

This is an individual exercise that helps the students practice translating a figure, as well as combining translations. It includes the student version and the answer key. The translations are described using function notation as outlined by the common core standards for Geometry.
