Rotation Worksheet description This worksheet has six different problems with different variations on each problem. Student working this worksheet should understand how to plot points on a coordinate grid and integers. There is very little variation on this worksheet. With that said questions 3 and 4 are important to see if students understand the concept. The transformation is same but direction and angle of rotation are different. Note: My philosophy for worksheets. If worksheet has a

Reflection Worksheet description This worksheet has six different problems with different variations on each problem. Student working this worksheet should understand how to plot points on a coordinate grid and integers. The first problem is the simplest reflection across the x-axis. This is to help students get started on the assignment. The next three problems have the students reflect on top of the original figure two are horizontal and one is vertical. Question 5 is my favorite because

Translation Worksheet description This worksheet has four different problems with different variations on each problem. Student working this worksheet should understand how to plot points on a coordinate grid and integers. The first problem’s points “A, B, and C” are the same ordered pairs on the translation PowerPoint. This is to help students get started on the assignment. The students are to plot and translate. The second problem has the students plot and translates twice. This allows f

Rotation ppt description This PowerPoint is eight slides long and introduces one of transformation (rotation) to intermediate students. Slide #3 introduces the rules for rotation about origin in the counter-clockwise direction at three angles (90°, 180°, and 270°). In order to achieve a clockwise direction just reverse the rules for 90°, and 270°; the rule for 180° remains the same. I give a reference sheet that has the rules. Slide #4 illustrates the 270° and 90° are the same rotation. Some

Reflection ppt description This PowerPoint is eight slides long and introduces one of transformation (reflection) to intermediate students. Slide #3 stresses the change in orientation. Slide #4 shows that figure and its reflection are equally spaced from the line of reflection. Slides #5 and 6 illustrates how to find the line of reflection by dividing the range between reflecting points by two. Many students do this but they don’t know how to explain it. The exit question slide reviews thre

Function Table ppt description This PowerPoint is ten slides long and builds on previous knowledge of a simple function. This lesson satisfies the requirement for common core 8.F.1 and several other standards. It is well suited for the intermediate (middle) school students. Slide #2 is the vocabulary slide and the animation identifies the input and output coordinates. Slide #3 illustrates how the input, function and output are used to create an ordered pair. The animations are slow to begin

Building Equations ppt description This PowerPoint is nine slides long and builds on previous knowledge of a slope intercept form. This lesson satisfies the some of the requirements for common core 8.EE.6. It is well suited for the intermediate (middle) school students. Slide #2 is the vocabulary slide, be sure to look at the PowerPoint notes because it contains the concepts that is to be stress with each slide. Slide #3 illustrates how to find the rate of change in rise (y) and run (x) from
