Describing Translations

Deepen students' understanding of translations on the coordinate plane with this eighth-grade geometry worksheet! In Describing Translations, learners are given coordinate planes that show a preimage and its translated image. Students are asked to describe the translations depicted on eight different coordinate planes, each of which involve moving in two directions. This worksheet is helpful practice for students as they learn about transformations on the coordinate plane. For practice translating shapes on the coordinate plane, have learners complete the Translations on the Coordinate Plane worksheet, as well.
