Translations

After viewing the first presentation in topic 17, "Graph Movement," explore the properties of Translations with this worksheet.

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and active in your browser (Click here to install Java now)

Remember that with thes constructions you can move the points around. You may create any quadrilateral (or even a triangle) first, THEN translate it with the sliders at the top. Consider the following:
1) Does each translation show up where you expect it to?
2) Can you identify the translation rule BEFORE you click the check box?
3) Will you be able to perform these tasks on your own (without GeoGebra)?
