1 Concepts Patterns Coordinate geometry Rotation and reflection transformations of the plane Materials Student activity sheet Transformational Geometry in the Coordinate Plane Rotations and Reflections Construction sheet Directions for Constructing a Circle, Drawing Radii, and Creating a Rotation of a Point on the Circle Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus Introduction Two transformations of the plane that have many applications in algebra as well as in other disciplines are rotations and reflections. These transformations are known as rigid motion transformations because the angles and lengths of segments of the original object remain the same in the transformed figures. In this activity you will investigate changes in the coordinates of points when they undergo reflective and rotational transformations and observe the resulting patterns. There are three investigations in this activity that require you to complete drawings using the geometry program on the Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus. If you are unfamiliar with the geometry program on the Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus, work through the special section of the activity, Directions for Constructing a Circle, Drawing Radii, and Creating a Rotation of a Point on the Circle, first.. In the first investigation you will rotate a single point and in the third investigation you will rotate an object. The second investigation involves reflecting a point across the x- and y-axes and comparing the result to a rotation. PTE: Dynamic Geometry Page 1

11 Teacher Notes Introduction Two transformations of the plane that have many applications in algebra as well as in other disciplines are rotations and reflections. These transformations are known as rigid motion transformations because the angles and lengths of segments of the original object remain the same in the transformed figures. In this activity you will investigate changes in the coordinates of points when they undergo reflective and rotational transformations and observe the resulting patterns. There are three investigations in this activity that require you to complete drawings using the geometry program on the Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus. If students are unfamiliar with the geometry program on the Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus, have them work through the special section of the activity Directions for Constructing a Circle, Drawing Radii, and Creating a Rotation of a Point on the Circle first. Additional information is available from the Voyage 200/TI-92 Plus manual. In the first investigation students rotate a single point and in the third investigation they rotate an object. The second investigation involves reflecting a point across the x- and y-axes and comparing the result to a rotation. Instructions The default screen scale for Cabri is adequate for this activity. The default screen of the Voyage 200/TI-92 Cabri Geometry is a bit small for integer coordinate points. By dragging an x-axis unit toward the origin, the scale of both the x- and y-axes are changed equally. This keeps the screen in a square coordinate system with and aspect ratio equal to 1. However, when the default screen of either program is changed, the coordinate system no longer matches the measurement system. The measurement system is always the same no matter how the coordinate system s scale is set. This is the same reason that the scale factor is computed when graphing functions interactively. Investigation #1: Rotation Starting this activity at an integer point in the first quadrant increases the chances for students to make connections easily. Starting at a point with the x-coordinate not equal to the y-coordinate avoids the special cases like a rotation of 90 being equal to a reflection over the y-axis. Constructing the circle and the two radii to points P and P help students visualize what a rotation means. Marking the angle also helps them focus on the angle of rotation and how it changes. The Mark Angle tool under the DISPLAY toolbar menu has a bad habit of jumping to the opposite side of an angle, especially when the angle becomes reflex. To change this, simply drag the mark back through the vertex of the angle. 1. In general, if the coordinates of point P are (x, y), then the coordinates of P rotated around the origin by 90 are (-y, x) (Figure 1). Encourage students to drag point P to different locations to check their conjectures for this and other rotations. Figure 1 2. A conjecture implied by the table values is that the sum of the coordinates for P equals the sum of the coordinates for its rotated point P. Values in Table 1 will vary depending on where point P is dragged to the different location than indicated. PTE: Dynamic Geometry Page 11

In general, rotating the point P (x, y) through a 180 angle around the origin yields the point P (-x, y). This transformation is sometimes called a half-turn or reflection through a point. The Symmetry tool under the TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar menu (F5) executes this transformation by reflecting an object through a specified point. This fact may become more evident after students do Investigation #2. A rotation of point P (x, y) through a 270 angle around the origin yields the point P (y, -x). An interesting way to look at this rotation is as a 180 rotation from the point of a 90 rotation. A rotation of 180 reverses the sign of the coordinates, but not the position of the coordinates in each pair. If a 90 rotation gives the point (-y, x), then a 270 rotation would be the point (y, -x), which is the case (Figure 1). A rotation of 360 is the point itself. Table 2: Coordinates of P From Rotating P (2,1) Through Given Angles of Rotation Angle of Coordinates of P Angle of Coordinates of P Rotation Rotation 90 (-1, 2) 230 (-0.52, -2.17) 100 (-1.33, 1.8) 240 (-0.15, -2.23) 110 (-1.62, 1.54) 250 (0.26, -2.22) 120 (-1.87, 1.23) 260 (0.64, -2.14) 130 (-2.05, 0.89) 270 (1, -2) 140 (-2.17, 0.52) 280 (1.33, -1.8) 150 (-2.23, 0.13) 290 (1.62, -1.54) 160 (-2.22, -0.26) 300 (1.87, -1.23) 170 (-2.14, -0.64) 310 (2.05, -0.89) 180 (-2, -1) 320 (2,.17, -0.52) 190 (-1.8, -1.33) 330 (2.23, -0.13) 200 (-1.54, -1.62) 340 (2.22, 0.26) 210 (-1.23, -1.87) 350 (2.14, 0.64) 220 (-0.89, -2.05) 360 (2, 1) PTE: Dynamic Geometry Page 12
13 4. Dragging the point P to different locations on the screen produces the same results even if point P is not in the first quadrant. An interesting extension is to have students continue to rotate the point in a positive direction or to rotate it in a negative direction and extend their generalizations using the cyclic nature of this activity. Table 3: Coordinates of Rotation of Point P by Multiples of 90 Angle of P (x, y) for P (4, 2) P (x, y) for P (3, -2) P (x, y) for P (-3, -1) Rotation 90 (-2, 4) (2, 3) (1, -3) 180 (-4, -2) (-3, 2) (3, 1) 270 (2, -4) (-2, -3) (-1, 3) 360 (4, 2) (3, -2) (-3, -1) Investigation #2 1. Starting this investigation on a point with the x-coordinate not equal to the y-coordinate avoids the problem of special cases. These special cases will be noted, but not as the first instance of the relationship. 2. In general, reflecting point P (x, y) across the y-axis yields the point R (-x, y) for any location of point P. All reflections across the y-axis reverse the sign of the x-coordinate and leave the sign of the y-coordinate the same. If students have done any work with transformations of the graphs of functions, this relationship is the same as the comparison between f(x) and f(-x), a flip over the y- axis. 3. Answers may vary depending on the location point P is dragged to on the screen. Table 4: Coordinates of Reflected Points Given Point P Trial# P(x, y) R(x, y) R (x, y) R (x, y) 1 (4, 2) (-4, 2) (-4, -2) (4, -2) 2 (1, 3) (-1. 3) (-1, -3) (1. -3) 3 (-3, 4) (3, 4) (3, -4) (-3. -4) 4 (-2, -1) (2, -1) (2, 1) (-2. 1) 4. Point R and point P do not coincide showing that in general, a flip over the y-axis is not equivalent to a rotation of 90. However, if point P is located on the line y = x, then P and R are the same point since the angle between the positive x-axis and the radius to point P is Reflecting the point R (-x, y) across the x-axis yield the point R (-x, -y). Any reflection across the x-axis leaves the x-coordinate the same and reverses the sign of the y-coordinate. In this case, since R is the product of two reflections across the y- and x-axis, the signs of both coordinates are reversed. It may become apparent to students that this double reflection produces the same result as a rotation of 180, especially if the radii of the circle to the reflection points are drawn (Figure 2). This is the same relationship that is called a reflection through the origin as with the graph of an odd function like f(x) = x 3 or f(x) = sin (x). The same transformation can be done using the Symmetry tool from the TRANFORMATIONS (F5) toolbar menu. Figure 2 PTE: Dynamic Geometry Page 13
14 In general, rotations of point P by 90 or 270 do not coincide with reflections of P across the x- and/or y-axes. Rotation of point P 180 around the origin yields the same point as two reflections across the x- and y-axes in either order. Figure 3 shows that points R and P coincide. Drag point P anywhere on the screen and these relationships remain true. Rotations of 90 or 270 correspond to reflections over the axes only when P is on the line y = x or y = -x. Figure 3 Investigation # This investigation displays an important property of reflections not obvious with individual points. The orientation of a reflection figure is reversed compared to the original. The orientation of a figure after two reflections (or any even number of reflections) is the same as the original. The orientation of a rotated figure is the same as the original no matter what the size of the angle of rotation. 3. A rotated figure can only coincide with a figure reflected an even number of times, such as over the x- and y-axes. Figure 4 shows a triangle reflected over the axes and rotated 90, 180, and 270 around the origin. Only the 180 rotation coincides with two reflections over the axes. There are no special cases for the triangle like there are for a single point because of the orientation change for reflections. 4. A triangle, or any geometric shape or graph, can be thought of as a collection of individual points. Geometric figures can be defined by the coordinates of their vertices. In any case, since we can represent figures as points, each point of the figure reacts like any individual point. Rotations of the triangle through 90 and 270 around the origin do not coincide with reflections of the triangle over the axes (Figure 4). Figure 4 A rotation of 180 does correspond to two reflections over the x- and y-axes. 5. The results are the same as those in question #3. 6. Any vertex of a geometric figure has the same properties as a single point. In Figure 4 the vertex of the triangle at the point (2,1) is reflected and rotated showing these properties. A circle centered at the origin and passing through the point (2,1) also passes through all of the reflected and rotated points. PTE: Dynamic Geometry Page 14
