Students work in pairs or groups to perform different steps to different compositions. They rotate to see different transformations and how the composition changes the orientation of the figure. The students can get up and move around or stay seated for the rotations. After this activity is complete, it leads to a great class discussion. Index cards, directions, questions, and answers are provided.

The students are asked to apply their knowledge of transformations and compositions for this project. They can use their creativity to write a story about a character. This character will be the "shape" they "transform." I like this project because it allows students to be creative while applying Geometry skills. This preview includes an example. The file includes instructions for the students, a rubric, and a student example.
