Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! In the diagram, the point (3, 2) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin. The point (x₁, y₁) is the result of a 90° rotation. What are the coordinates of (x₁, y₁)?

Solve It! The point (x₂, y₂) is the result of a 180° rotation. What are the coordinates of (x₂, y₂)? Enter only the coordinates in your response. Include a space after the comma.

Solve It! The point (x₃, y₃) is the result of a 270° rotation. What are the coordinates of (x₃, y₃)? Enter only the coordinates in your response. Include a space after the comma.

Problem 1 Got It? Draw the image of △LOB for a 50° rotation about B. Use blue or green for the image and label L', O', and B'.

Problem 2 Got It? Graph the rotation on the canvas.

Problem 3 Got It? Can you use the properties of rotations to prove that WXYZ is a rhombus? Explain.

Graphing: Draw the indicated rotation of △ABC on the canvas. Use blue or green for the image and label A', B', and C'.

Vocabulary:A'B'C' is a rotation of △ABC about point O. Describe how to find the angle of rotation.

Error Analysis: A classmate drew a 115° rotation of △PQR about point P, as shown. Explain your classmate's error.

Compare and Contrast: Compare rotating a figure about a point to reflecting the figure across a line. How are the transformations alike? How are they different?

Reasoning: Point P(x, y) is rotated about the origin by 135° and then by 45°. What are the coordinates of the image of point P? Explain.

Review Lesson 9-2:BIG has vertices B(-4, 2), I(0, -3), and G(1, 0). Graph △BIG in black and its reflection across the y-axis in green or blue. Label all vertices.

Review Lesson 9-2:BIG has vertices B(-4, 2), I(0, -3), and G(1, 0). Graph △BIG in black and its reflection across the x-axis in green or blue. Label all vertices.

Review Lesson 9-2:BIG has vertices B(-4, 2), I(0, -3), and G(1, 0). Graph △BIG in black and its reflection across the line x = 2 in green or blue. Label all vertices.

Review Lessons 8-2 & 8-3: Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth and include units in the same format shown in the diagram.

Review Lessons 9-2 & 9-3: What are the coordinates of the image of point A(-2, 3) after two 90° rotations about the origin? Enter only the coordinates and include a space after the comma.

Review Lessons 9-2 & 9-3: What are the coordinates of the image of point T(3, 0) after a reflection across the y-axis followed by a 180° rotation about the origin? Enter only the coordinates and include a space after the comma.

Review Lessons 9-2 & 9-3: The image of point H after a 90° rotation about the origin followed by a reflection across the x-axis is K(3, 2). What are the coordinates of H? Enter only the coordinates and include a space after the comma.

Vocabulary Review: What is the name of the tool shown here? Enter a one-word response.

Vocabulary Review: Draw a line segment on the protractor to represent each angle measure. Then label the angle measures and classify each as acute, right, or obtuse.
