Lesson 1: Geometric Transformations

This unit is divided into three parts. Part one will be coding using Hopscotch or Scratch.The second part will focus on transformations of shapes on a grid. Please note that rotations are difficult for many students. I have attached a PDF for extra help. Part 3 will focus on tessellations and analyzing designs (geometry art).

By the end of this unit, I will be able to:

• perform tessellations (and determine the transformation involved)

• describe the location in the four quadrants of a coordinate system

• dilatate shapes

• create and analyze designs involving translations, reflections and rotations

The textbook covers some of the expectations. The following sections in Chapter 7 should be used as a reference:

• Getting started/Do you remember (pages 226/227)

• 7.1

• 7.2

• 7.3

• 7.4

• 7.6

• page 253 has answers to a part of a Friday Challenge

Part 2 - Transformations

Assignment

Logo Assignment

Find three logos (same theme). One logo should have a translation, one should have a reflection and one should have a rotation. Students should SHARE a document with me with a one sentence explanation as to where the transformation is. No need to print this assignment

For example:

Translation Rotation Reflection
