Texas Instruments activity showing dilations.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will plot the image of a quadrilaterals under a dilation and scale factor.
Students review properties of basic rigid motions, understanding the properties of dilations and that a dilation is an example of a transformation of the plane.
Students verify experimentally that the dilation of a figure from two different centers by the same scale factor gives congruent figures. These figures are congruent by a translation along a vector that is parallel to the line through the centers.
Unit with practice on tables and graphs with inverse variations
Interactive activity discovering the properties of congruent triangles.
Activity where students discover the relationships between congruent triangles.
Blog defining transformations of functions.
This lesson focuses on construction of dilations.
The purpose of this task is to give students an opportunity use quantitative and graphical reasoning to detect an error in a solution. The equations have been chosen so that finding the exact solution requires significant calculation so that it is easy to make an error.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will practice evaluating piecewise functions.
In this Khan Academy activity, students will rewrite expressions with radicals and rational exponents into equivalent expressions using the properties of exponents and evaluate.
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:
Work with concepts of congruency and similarity, including identifying corresponding sides and corresponding angles within and between triangles.
Identify and understand the significance of a counter-example.
Prove and evaluate proofs in a geometric context.
The goal of this task is to use properties of exponents for whole numbers (in particular the fact that (a^m)^n=a^(mn)) in order to explain how expressions with fractional exponents are defined.
Video tutorial that includes fractional exponents with numerators other than 1; option to quiz and practice on topic.
The purpose of this task is to study the rules of exponents in the context of trying to make sense of a very interesting mathematical expression.
Experimental practice comparing theoretical and experimental probability based on the population
Interactive tool that explores the impact of scale factor and/or the location of point of dilation on the image.
Interactive Geogebra activity that allows students to discover the properties of special right triangles.
Guided notes on defining trigonometric ratios
