Description
Students will translate, reflect, rotate, and dilate to create the image of a turkey. The dilation is defined by a rule (coordinate notation) so technically, they do not need to know how to dilate in order to complete this part of the project. I describe the project in class, then assign it for students to complete over Thanksgiving break. I have used this in geometry and geometry honors classes, and it is one of their favorite projects all year!
The project is completely editable with a word doc and .pdf provided so that you may adapt the rubrik to fit the needs of your class.
Contents: Project description, rubrik, coordinate plane fitted to constraints in the project.
