TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS - DUE MARCH 13th

Any late assignments will receive a 10% deduction per day late.

You must complete a total of 5 points for this project.  All projects must meet the requirements.  Rubrics will be filled in online through TeacherEase.  

Appetizer (1 pt. each)

Transformation Drawings

• Using graph paper create a figure that you will use to perform the following transformations on:

• translation
• reflection
• rotation
• dilation

• Identify at least 10 coordinates of the original drawing.
• Use an additional piece of graph paper to draw the new transformed figures.  
• Identify the same 10 coordinates in their new location.

Tweets

• Using your camera, take pictures of real world transformations.  Tweet the pictures to the hashtag #mrskmath
• The items must be real world pictures that you have taken, not educational search or google search pictures.

• In your tweet, you must include where you took the picture of the transformation and what transformation it is.  Include your initials and your class period.
• Tweet should look like this... #mrskmath , Jewel, translation, JK3

Main Dish (3 pts. each)

Comic Strip

• Using graph paper or an online/computer program approved by Mrs. Kenney, create a minimum of 4 slides in a comic strip format that contain all four transformations.
• The comic strip must contain a storyline that relates to and explains the 4 transformations.
• The transformations must be apparent in the drawings.

Create a Worksheet

• Create a worksheet that your classmates can use to help them study for a transformations test.  
• All four of the transformations must be included.
• An example must be given, along with a practice problem for your classmates to complete.
• Each example must give coordinates that will be used to perform each of the four transformations.

Tessellations

• Using graph paper, create a tessellation.  
• Identify the original polygon used, and the movements that must be completed to continue the pattern.
• Color the tessellation.

Pins

• Create a public Pinterest board that you can share with the class.
• Pin items that the transformations can easily be identified in.
• The items must be real world pictures, not educational search or google search pictures.
• Pin at least three of each transformations.
• Provide a detailed description of each transformation, along with the following information in the pin description.

• The degrees rotated must be identified.
• The dilation growth factor must be identified.
• The reflection must be identified by describing the movement and the line of reflection.
• The translation must be described and the line identified

Desserts (5 pts. each)

Transformation Worksheet

• Complete the transformation worksheet.

Transformation City

• Using graph paper or any online or computer program approved by Mrs. Kenney, create a new city that contains all of the properties of the four transformations.
• Identify the coordinates of each original structure, along with the new coordinates of the transformed structure.

• The degrees rotated must be identified.
• The dilation must be identified.
• The reflection must be identified by describing the movement and the line of reflection.
• The translation must be described.

• You must include at least two of each transformation in the city layout.

Glogster/Prezi Presentation

• Sign up for a free student Glogster account or Prezi account.
• Using the program, create an interactive poster/presentation that covers all four transformations.
• The following must be included:

• picture examples of each
• a thorough description of each transformation
• The degrees rotated must be identified on a picture
• The dilation must be identified on a picture.
• The reflection must be identified by describing the movement and the line of reflection on a picture.
• The translation must be described on a picture.
• Links to various activities for each transformation must be included.

Music Video/Movie Short

• Create a music video or movie short that revolves around a transformations.
• The music video must include original lyrics, but can be set to any tune.
• The movie short must be an original skit performed by you and anyone else that you chose to be a part.
• The video/short must contain the following:

• picture examples of each
• a thorough description of each transformation
• The degrees rotated must be identified on a picture
• The dilation must be identified on a picture.
• The reflection must be identified by describing the movement and the line of reflection on a picture.
• The translation must be described on a picture.
• Have fun!
