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…

If you're teaching transformations in geometry, this project idea is great! Students use logos to find reflections, rotations, and symmetry.

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

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…

When it comes to my Transformations unit in Geometry, I have a mini-project that I like to use. First, I show different company logos in class and we talk about the different transformations we see

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…

For maths we have been using our transformation skills to create a piece of mathematical art. We used squares, rectangles and triangles and had to show rotation, reflection and translation. Here are a few:
