Abstract
In this paper, we use complex-number operations to carry out transformations of geometric shapes and establish connections between geometry and algebra in the high-school curriculum. We use dynamic geometry software to visualize the geometric effect of these algebraic operations and connect complex-number operations to translations, rotations, and dilations.
