Translating Shapes
Master translation transformations using vectors! Move shapes across coordinate grids in 1 and 4 quadrant modes.
Master translation transformations using vectors! Move shapes across coordinate grids in 1 and 4 quadrant modes.
Practice translating shapes using vector notation on coordinate grids. Click points to draw the translated shape!
Master moving shapes using column vector notation to describe position changes on the grid.
Practice with 1 quadrant (0 to 10) or 4 quadrant grids (-8 to 8) to build coordinate confidence.
Click points on the grid to draw your translated shape. Visual feedback shows if you're correct.
Work with simple regular shapes or complex irregular polygons to develop translation skills.
Choose your grid mode (1 or 4 quadrants), then select simple or complex shapes to practice with.
Each question shows the original shape (blue) and a column vector. The top number is horizontal movement, the bottom is vertical.
Click on grid points to draw the translated shape. Close the shape by clicking back on your first point, then check your answer.
