Transformations math middle school

Look no further for the best activities and ideas for teaching geometric transformations! There are foldables for translations, rotations, reflections, dilations, and symmetry. The project is a great way to wrap up the unit with an activity. #mrseteachesmath #transformations #geometry

I have been trying to talk less and let kids figure out more on their own this year and in searching for a way to introduce transformations found this AMAZING lesson from Robert Kaplinsky. You guys, I didn't even have to teach it! My kids caught on so quickly they were describing multiple transformations like it was nothing! I followed Robert's plan by using the intro video (you can download it from his blog) that showed translations, rotations, and reflections. Yes, we gather like we are in…

In this mystery USA transformation activity, students translate, reflect, and rotate their way to various trip destinations. This is a fun way for middle school math students to practice transformations and it is a great activity to use as math centers in math workshop, for early finishers, or as sub plans!

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

I love these fun math group challenges! Practice skills and add some fun to math class. Pick your topic, such as equations, order of operations, division, proportions, and more. Great for middle and high school math!

Last week, I wrote a post about using a hole punch to find function inverses in algebra. A few people asked on Facebook if the process would also work for geometric reflections, and it absolutely does! In this post I share an easy, hands-on method for demonstrating reflections and rotations of geometric shapes and their coordinates in the coordinate plane. The video included in the post covers reflecting over the x-axis, over the y-axis and over the line y = x. This same method will work for…

Struggling with transformations activities that are too complicated? These activities have large simple graphs and all use one manipulative - patty paper. Teach rotations, reflections, and translations in a way that students will actually remember!
