Exploring Sequencing Rigid Motions in Eureka Math

This lesson covers sequences of rigid motions, focusing on translation, reflection, and rotation. Students review these concepts and learn to describe transformations with precision, identifying the type and rule followed. The lesson includes practice exercises and instructions for independent work, preparing students for their mid-module assessment.

What is a rigid motion?

• A transformation that keeps size and shape constant

• A transformation that changes size and shape

• A transformation that only changes size

• A transformation that only changes shape
