I used this activity after my students completed the discovery lesson. It was perfect! My students were able to identify the different transformations. I will use it again this year.

My students loved this activity! They were super engaged. I am planning on making it a larger poster and hiding the cards around the room. When they find them, they stick them to whichever poster they would fall under. Overall, super helpful in getting the students to understand the difference in each transformation and the real world cards are AMAZING!

This was an excellent way to introduce transformations to my math intervention students. They were able to make connections between the real world examples and the graphs. We referred back to this activity multiple times throughout the unit.
