Irby's Easy Math Foldables

This is a very short activity that allows the students to become familiar with geometric transformations including Reflections, Rotations, Translations and Dilations. There are many facets to these four transformations that are not mentioned but it does show the effect of each type on a triangle or parallelogram on a cartesian plane. The outsides are the notes on each individual while the center gives the opportunity for the students to work through all four of them with a single shape. It can

This foldable is a contains five panels. Guided notes are on the left and right and practice problems are in the middle. It is a perfect introduction to distinguishing between equations and inequalities. It also helps the student use test points to find out if certain points on a graph are in the solution set for the inequality. First guide the students through the notes on the left side to get a grasp of linear equations and what they look like. Second let them do the practice problems wit
