This week, we will continue our study of different types of transformations. During class on Thursday, students investigated line and rotational symmetry. We were also introduced to the term "isometry", which is a transformation that results in the same sized and shaped figure.
This week, we will talk more about different isometries. We will focus in on translations, rotations, and reflections. We will work on the properties of each of these transformations and we will apply our knowledge to transformations on the coordinate plane. Students should expect to see a worksheet for homework each day of the unit in order to practice our skills. This is a pretty short unit, so students should expect to see a summative assessment during the early part of the week of May 21st. Before we get to that point, students will see a formative assessment or two so we can make sure we are on the right track.
