    What are Similar Figures?

    Looking at two figures that are the same shape and have the same angle measurements? You have similar figures! Learn all about it in this tutorial!

• Transformation Definitions

    What is a Reflection?

    When you look in the mirror, you see your reflection. In math, you can create mirror images of figures by reflecting them over a given line. This tutorial introduces you to reflections and shows you some examples of reflections. Take a look!

    What is a Transformation?

    Transformations can be really fun! They allow you to change or move a figure. In this tutorial, learn about all the different kinds of transformations!

    How Do You Use Coordinates to Reflect a Figure Over the Y-Axis?

    Want to see how to reflect a figure over the y-axis? Then this tutorial was made for you! In this tutorial, you'll see how to use coordinates from the original figure to reflect the figure over the y-axis. Take a look!

• Ordered Pairs and The Coordinate Plane

  • • 

    What is an Ordered Pair?

    Ordered pairs are a fundamental part of graphing. Ordered pairs make up functions on a graph, and very often, you need to plot ordered pairs in order to see what the graph of a function looks like. This tutorial will introduce you to ordered pairs!

    What is the Coordinate Plane?

    You can't graph a function or plot ordered pairs without a coordinate plane! Learn about the coordinate plane by watching this tutorial.
