Rotation Description
Skill:
Locate, given the coordinates of, and graph points which are the results of rigid transformations in all quadrants of the coordinate plane; describe the path of the motion using geometric models or appropriate terms.
Rotation Description
Explore triangle rotations on the coordinate plane. Animate rotations with different directions, angles, and centers of rotation.
