About this worksheet

What students practice

Students test whether translations, reflections, and rotations preserve parallel lines.
Students use plotted points and direction changes as evidence that image lines are parallel.

How to use

Provide graph paper, tracing paper, and a ruler. Have students carry out the motions before answering, then discuss what counts as evidence of parallelism.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

Trip Budget: Parallel Rule Tests

Test how rigid motions affect pairs of lines on a budget page.

Bus Cost Panel: Translation

The class trip budget has bus, meal, and museum ticket panels. Each panel uses two parallel ruled lines. Use a ruler and tracing paper to test the layout changes. Treat each pair of points as defining a full line.

Draw the bus panel's lines through A and B, and through C and D. Slide the entire pair 3 units right and 1 unit up.
