LOST IN TRANSLATION
geometry · graphing translations of lines
To graph lines after indicated translations [8.G.A.1a].
LOST IN TRANSLATION is a Grade 8 geometry game for graphing translations of lines. Dice generate coordinates for points that define a line, then additional rolls determine vertical and horizontal shifts. Students record the movement and graph the translated line, connecting coordinate changes to the geometric effect of moving a figure without changing its shape.
Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are studying transformations on the coordinate plane. The repeated dice-generated translations give students many different examples and make it easy to compare original and translated positions.
