634- Transformations in Geometry: From Simulation to Analysis

Saturday, April 28, 2012: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
122 A (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Paul A. Kennedy
Co-Speaker:
Maurice Burke


This presentation will use interactive geometry software to investigate the problem of randomly flipping a figure on the coordinate plane and determining the generating isometries. The problem exposes students to the power of the major theorems of transformational geometry concerning isometries, a central theme in the Common Core State Standards.

Presentation Format: 9-12 Session
Grade Band Audience: 9 to 12
