Geometry Construction Basics Practice - Rigid Motion Transformations

Help your students master the fundamentals of transformations with this Geometry Construction Basics Practice – Rigid Motion Transformations practice set! This hands-on resource provides clear, student-friendly instructions for four essential geometry construction skills: constructing a line of reflection, reflecting a figure over a line, translating a figure according to a given vector, and rotating a figure by a specified degree around a given point. Using only a pencil, straightedge, compass, and protractor, students learn to create precise, accurate constructions while building a deeper understanding of how each transformation works. Each skill page offers guided steps, multiple practice opportunities, and a final assessment to check mastery.

Perfect for high school geometry, Integrated Math 1, or as a middle school extension, this set engages students in a way that technology often can’t—by requiring them to think critically about the why behind each transformation. Aligned with Common Core Standards HSG.CO.A.5 and HSG.CO.D.12, this resource is ideal for whole-class lessons, small group intervention, or enrichment for students who enjoy hands-on math activities. By the end, students will not only complete accurate constructions, but also gain confidence and precision in their geometry skills.
