Things to Learn

  • Explore the sequence of transformations (one move on the plane followed by another).
  • Discover that a sequence of translations enjoys the same properties as a single translation with respect to lengths of segments and degrees of angles.
  • Find that a translation along a vector followed by another translation along a vector of the same length in the opposite direction can move all points of a plane back to their original positions.
  • Find that a translation along a vector followed by another translation along a vector of the same length in the opposite direction can move all points of a plane back to their original positions.
