Translation PlotterClick on one of the shape buttons to the right of the grid to display the corresponding shape in a random position. A set of instructions for translating this shape will also appear in the blue box. Drag and drop the four circular markers to the translated position of the shape’s corners. If they are placed in the correct position the translated shape will be drawn on the screen. Instructions The Resource
EnlargementsThere are three parts to this resource: Introduction to enlargements: This is an ideal resource for introducing pupils to the concept of enlargement and scale factor. . Enlargements without a centre of enlargement: The resource enables the user to enlarge a given shape by dragging the vertices of a polygon. Enlargements with a centre of enlargement: This is a very powerful resource that is perfect for exploring the enlargement of shapes using a centre of enlargement. http://www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk/vtc/ngfl/maths/echalk/enlargement/index.htm

Shapes and SpaceThis excellent ActivBoard flipchart includes 15 Mathematical activities to teach the subject of shapes and space. It covers a wide range of areas such as transformations & reflections, the properties of shapes and using quadrilaterals. Three thumbs up! The flipchart can be found here: If you are not yet a member of Promethean Planet, you will first have to register here: If you want to view the activities and have some interactivity with them, but you don't have the ActivStudio software, you can download the free Viewer from here:
Sorting SymmetriesNaomi has a triangle which is blue on one side and yellow on the other. It has a dot in one corner on each side. How many ways are there of posting this triangle through a triangular shaped slot?
Translations on the Coordinate PlaneAn interactive animation demonstrating how parallel vectors link a triangle and its translated image.
Transformations - TranslationWith this virtual manipulative you can create objects with pattern block pieces and explore Translations ("Slides") as transformations of the plane.
Transformations - RotationWith this virtual manipulative you can create objects with pattern block pieces and explore Rotations ("Turns") as transformations of the plane.
Transformations - ReflectionsWith this virtual manipulative you can create objects with pattern block pieces and explore Reflections as transformations of the plane.
