"I used this resource this morning with my 8th grade geometry class. They loved it! The students were 100% engaged, including the boys who love to put down every activity that I have them do. Thank you for such a well done activity!"

Description
Geometry Rotations Discovery Activity!
Have your students discover the rules for rotations in the coordinate plane with this Discovery Activity! Students can work independently or with a group to come up with the rules for a 90, 180, 270, and 360 degree rotation. Please note that trace/patty paper is required in order to utilize this activity.

I used this with my 8th graders and they really enjoyed playing around with the rotations. My students used patty paper, which helped.
Thanks!
Students were very involved in the activity and everything was laid out nicely. A perfect discovery activity. Thank you

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSSHSG-CO.A.2
Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
CCSSHSG-CO.A.4
Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
CCSSHSG-CO.A.5
Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
