Transformations of a Point in the Coordinate Plane Mystery Picture

Students will be performing rigid transformations of a point. After performing the transformations, they will connect the new points to form a mystery picture (ice cream cone).

This activity includes the following transformations:

  • Rotations 90 degrees clockwise about the origin
  • Rotations 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin
  • Rotations 180 degrees clockwise about the origin
  • Rotations 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin
  • Reflections over the x-axis
  • Reflections over the y-axis
  • Reflections over the line y = x
  • Reflections over a horizontal line (example y = -1)
  • Reflections over a vertical line (example x = 2)
  • Translations

The ice cream cones look great hung up on a math bulletin board!
