The lesson introduces transformations in geometry, focusing on altering images using mathematical rules. It covers four main types: translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation. Through exercises, students explore these transformations, understanding them as functions that map points in the plane. The concept of rigid motion is introduced, emphasizing transformations that preserve shape and size. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points and a preview of future topics.
