Inquiry into Math

Today was a review on how to do translations. Students felt a lot more confident doing translations today. They are encouraged to carefully count the directions given from each vertex in a shape. Some steps to follow to help you successfully translate a shape.

1. Make a dot over each vertex in a shape to help you identify which points you are translating from

2. Translate each vertex according to the directions provided ex. "Move 2 spaces left and 4 spaces up"

3. Once you have translated all four vertices, connect the vertices to create an image of the original shape

4. Make sure that your image is the exact same shape and size of the original shape

Misconception: Remember that when you are translating a shape, the original point that the vertex is on does not count as 1 translation. It has to make a full jump to the next line intersect in order for it to count as a translation of 1 unit.
