Transformations of the plane

Text Transformations of the plane

TLF ID M012842

This is a website designed for both teachers and students that introduces some transformations of the plane using coordinates in the Cartesian plane. In particular, transformations, translations, reflections in an axis and rotations of multiples of 90 degrees are discussed. Coordinates are used to describe these transformations. There are pages for both teachers and students. The student pages contain interactive questions for students to check their progress in the topic.
