If you're teaching transformations in geometry, this project idea is great! Students use logos to find reflections, rotations, and symmetry.
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…
Transform shapes and lines with these fun emoji activity sheets! Included are 8 half sheets that challenge students to complete a variety of transformations in order to create an emoji. Each one increases in difficulty. The exercises include practice for: Translations Reflections Rotations Dilations Rigid transformations (mixture of translations, reflections, & rotations) And 3 exercises for a mixture of all types of transformations These get quite challenging! They are perfect to use as exit tickets or practice throughout your transformation unit. Students will know if they are doing them correctly if they create an emoji. I love activities that are engaging and help students learn! Answer keys are included. Two options for printing are included: Two exercises per sheet One exercise per sheet with space to show their work at the bottom Looking for more Transformations resources?

Algebraic Representations of Rotations - Concept - Examples with step by step explanation
Is it just me or is the start of this new year flying by already?? I feel like the older I get, the quicker the year goes by. We've only been back in school for about 10 days but we sure are flying by with our curriculum!! It's almost that time of year for state testing, which means all third grade classes at my school double on math. We've been doing this for the past three years I've been at this school (and they've done it years before as well) in order to get the kids ready for state testing. We cover so much material in this third quarter, it's CRAZY! In only the 10 days we've been back, we've already covered multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1 using both distributive property and standard algorithm, elapsed time, transformations, and congruent similar shapes. I must say that I am SO PROUD of my kids. They have totally got their elapsed time problems down to a T. This has always been such a difficult skill for my kiddos..we normally teach this in quarter 1. I have no idea why?? This year, I told myself that I would wait because in quarter 1 I'm torturing myself as well as my students. I waited and it has made all the difference. It is amazing at how well they grasped this concept since their mathematical minds have matured over the course of this school year. We took our assessments today and almost all of the students got MP's! Yay!! Last but not least, I wanted to share a foldable that we made to help the kids with transformations. I got my inspiration from Cierra and Shannon at Fabulous Fourth Grade. If you aren't already a subscriber to their blog you really need to head over there!! They have a ton of awesome resources..not to mention (the post that I linked) has a billion foldable ideas that are so great!! Awesome visuals ladies :) Used a brad so students can physically turn their shape Have a great rest of the week!!

Right now my 8th grade pre-algebra classes are working through our unit on transformations. Rotations have proved to be a difficult concept for them to grasp so I started searching blogs looking for ideas. I was inspired by a table in a foldable that Nancy at geometry gems had on her site. I knew I wanted to create that table for my students to place in their interactive notebooks as quick reference on how to graph rotations. We started with a pre-image in the first quadrant so they could easily discover the changes that occurred in the ordered pairs of the rotations. Those of you who read my blog regularly know that the majority of my school is comprised of second language learners. I always try to give as many visuals as possible to help my students who struggle with vocabulary. We drew arrows to show the clockwise and counterclockwise movements. We also color coded the corresponding shapes and ordered pairs as well. We also wrote what it means to rotate 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees. Click here for a copy of the rotations INB page tables. I was excited to find over 700 of these composition notebooks in a storage room that someone donated 3 years ago. My principal didn't know they were even there and I asked if the math department could have them and he said yes! We have brand new notebooks for all of our students. How cool is that! What is so nice about these notebooks is that the top is graph paper and the bottom is lined. Now I have to figure out how to use these. I am use to spirals and because I write large it is a challenge but I will work it out. I also wanted to share a video that my kids absolutely love. If you haven't seen Colin Dodd's videos you are in for a treat. I wish he was still teaching 8th grade. (Sigh) Here is a link to Colin Dodds on you tube to view his other videos too. Enjoy. I am excited about a project I am having the kids do next week. Can't wait to share it when they are finished. Pictures will be coming soon! Til next time, Jan

We're going to use this to help the kids see the different transformations of a shape. You could use any shape...have the kids trace it and cut out 4 pieces. Then use the shapes to trace the outlines. Download the labels: Click Here

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 staying safe and warm. Here are a few more pages that I haven't posted yet from the unit we just finished over transformations. I'm really in love with these composition notebooks that are 1/2 graph paper and 1/2 lined paper. So instead of foldables I will be doing pages utilizing the graph paper in the notebooks. I have these tables available to download at the end of the post. I did add the extra column on the files I have for you. Some of the students wanted to go back to the pre-image each time they did a new transformation. So we drew arrows from the previous ordered pairs to help them see what figure they were changing. The students really loved doing their initials. What was great about it is they were all different and the copying was not an issue. We didn't cover as much on dilations as I wanted because winter break started and it was the end of the semester. I will have to hit this a little more somehow before testing. There was a post I read quite some time ago, sorry I don't remember who wrote it, about coloring with a purpose. Ever since I read that I try to make the colors that we use in our interactive notebooks be there for a specific reason, not to just make the pages look pretty. On these pages I coordinated the colors of the ordered pairs to the figures on the graphs. However, on this graph I mixed up the green and the pink colors. UGH. Click here to download documents from this post. dilations and first initial tables multiple translations tables Enjoy! Til next time, Jan
As I was merrily going along teaching linear pairs and vertical angles and corresponding angles and such, it came to my attention that various students were not "there" yet with internalizing the pictures and definitions, so I came up with this activity: I like the activities I've seen where sometimes the answer is "none" and sometimes there's more than one answer, and sometimes the answers are repeated in different questions. I've tried to incorporate that style into these problems. I think it worked pretty well. I'm also giving them a quiz on 6 types of angle pairs for the next grading period. I told them they have to identify each angle pair correctly, and spelled correctly, and no abbreviations, and no doctor handwriting, and in a timed manner. If they miss ANY, they get a 0%, and they have as many tries in the next 6 weeks to get it 100% correct. I likened it to recognizing the letters of the alphabet. It sure would be a shame if they couldn't and/or it took them a long time to process the information. I restated the fact that geometry (math) is like a foreign language, and they have to have fluency with all the words. In other funny news. A student whose grade is suffering and who came in for tutoring today and was actually grasping things said, "wow, I should really listen more in class because this makes so much sense."
Function Transformation lessons suitable for Common Core High School: Functions, HSF-BF.B.3, stretch, compress, vertical shift, horizontal shift, with video lessons, examples and step-by-step solutions.
I like to break my lessons into chunks. I think this chunking method helps students attend to the lesson better and is brain friendly. A typical lesson for me usually has three to four parts. I have an essential question, such as, what is a transformation? After that, I would engage with the Transformation Hustle. (See the video for the instructions.) I would further explain with the Transformation video. (Let me know if you need instructions on how to save YouTube videos to a flash drive.) Then the students would explore with the transformation craftivity. Click HERE or on the picture for a free copy. I apologize for having a zillion versions, but I was trying to cover a wide grade range. I teach my students the SLide and FLip trick for remembering what a reflection and translation are, so I made some with SL and FL capitalized in the middle. Finally, I would give my students examples of transformations and let them answer on their whiteboards. I jot down the names of students that are still struggling. Sometimes I have them answer the EQ in their math journals. I would love to have you as a follower. Either way I wish you luck as you continue to create magic in your classroom.
