Translations: find the coordinates
Translations: find the coordinates
What you'll learn
- Identify the coordinates of a point on a coordinate plane after it has been translated a given number of units horizontally and vertically with 80% accuracy.
- Apply the rule (x + a, y + b) to determine the new coordinates of a translated point, given the original coordinates and the translation vector (a, b) in at least 4 out of 5 attempts.
- Explain, using mathematical vocabulary (e.g., translation, coordinate plane, x-axis, y-axis, ordered pair), how a translation affects the coordinates of a point in a written explanation that includes at least 3 accurate and relevant details.
- Solve problems involving translations of geometric shapes on a coordinate plane, correctly identifying the coordinates of all vertices of the translated shape in 3 out of 4 problems.
