Transformation project

This is the third year that my students have completed my Transformation Summative Assessment Project. See my previous posts Here, year one, and Here, year two, for examples, details and the rubr

My pre-algebra classes just finished their unit on transformations. They loved the graphing and finding something that 8th graders love to do right before winter break is worth its weight in gold! I found a mini-project that Pam at pperfectsquares shared on transformations. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it a summative assessment for my students. So I added a few things to Pam's mini-project and I think turned out to be a great assessment for my kids. Their homework the night before…

This is my second year using my transformation project as an assessment and I love it! See my previous post here, transformation summative assessment, for all the details. The timing of this project couldn't be any more perfect as it falls the week before winter break. My kids were so busy and engaged while they worked on this. I had music playing and we all had a great time. The key to this assessment is that it never leaves the room. I've debated long and hard about whether to post the…

As I posted before, my kids have been struggling with transformations, specifically rotations. I created this project in the hopes that creating an actual template to move around as they transform…

I’ve been incorporating more art into math this year. This project continues this theme. I had the students draw a pre-image, and then accurately translate it, reflect it, and rotate it into …

For maths we have been using our transformation skills to create a piece of mathematical art. We used squares, rectangles and triangles and ...

Happy New Year everyone! I started back to school on Monday with an in-service day that was our 3rd session of Kagan Structures training. (Another day and another post will fill you in on the details. All I can say is it is so worthwhile.) Today was the first day back with the kids and guess what? We have a snow, no really a cold day tomorrow with wind chills of -32 degrees F. Oh the fun of living in Chicagoland. Brrrr. I don't know how my friends up north do it. Hope that all of you are…

I love creating resources that make my classroom stand out, and these math alphabet vocabulary word walls are no exception! Each le...

Product Description Included is four booklets: reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations. Each booklet has information about the transformation, includes rules, a practice problem, and a sequence of transformations. There are many ways that students can construct their booklets. They can glue them into their interactive notebooks, use as 4 handheld booklets, or staple together to create one booklet.
