When you graph a composition of two transformations, you have to be very careful to perform all the steps in the right order! Watch this tutorial to see how to graph a glide reflection.
How Do You Identify a Congruence Transformation?

Want to figure out whether two figures are congruent? There's a mathematically precise way to do this! Watch this tutorial on congruence transformations to learn more.
How Do You Identify a Similarity Transformation?

How do you know if one figure is similar to another? If you can find a similarity transformation that maps one figure to the other, then the figures are similar! Learn more about spotting similarity transformations with this tutorial.
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!
