8th grade card sort including transformations: dilations (with scale factors), rotations (clockwise and counter), reflections and translations. Students can then identify transformations that result in similar vs congruent figures. Extension included to graph using a dry erase marker.
This project allows students to apply their knowledge of ratios and proportions to complete a hands on project with application. Its super easy to grade, great practice and the most enjoyable project I do because students can express themselves with the project if they choose to.
Teach your students a real world application of % decrease using sales. They will match up the card sort using a sale tag, a discount sign and a sales receipt with a total amount.
