In Math 9 we study the transformation of images by four different methods:

Translations, Reflections, Rotations, and Dilatations

Each of these transformation methods results in an image with different properties than the original drawing, and give results that look like this:


Students in Math 9 at Worsley have been having some fun with these transformations by using them to construct animations, which make use of translations and dilatations.
They first created flip-chart animations using 15-20 drawings. These were then transformed into computer animations by redrawing the series of pictures and making the computer play them back. Here are some samples; click on each image to see the animation:

Images were drawn in 256 colours using 'Windows Paint' and saved in .bmp format, then resized and converted to .jpg format (at 20% compression) with 'Irfanviewer'. Finally, they were strung together, timed, converted to .gif format, and further compressed using 'GIF Construction Set Professional'.
