Geometric Translations

Learning objectives

The student will use coordinate function notation to perform translations of figures in the coordinate plane.

Real world application

Translations are used in design to create repeating patterns. Coordinate function notation can be used to describe the location of these patterns.

Help

Click on any coordinate to start drawing your figure. To close your figure, click on the first point that was placed. You may place a maximum of 10 points.
