Transformations on the Coordinate Plane: Translations Handout

Use this one-page reference sheet to help students learn all about translations on the coordinate plane! A translation is a type of transformation that slides every point in a figure the same distance and direction without rotating or resizing. This geometry handout offers two examples that showcase translations on a coordinate plane and describes how to find the coordinates of the translated image. Students will also see an example of how to describe a translation using both words and algebraic terms. Geared toward eighth-grade learners, this helpful printable can serve as a study guide or a reference sheet in a geometry unit on transformations.
