Real math help.
Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

What is a Congruence Transformation, or Isometry?
Not all transformations are created equal! Congruence transformations, or isometries, have a special property that distinguishes them from other transformations. This tutorial will show you what makes them special!

What is a Dilation?
When someone's eyes dilate, their pupils get bigger or smaller, but they always stay the same shape. Dilation in math is very similar. When you dilate a figure, you change the size of the figure without changing its shape. This tutorial introduces you to dilation. Take a look!
