This Sequence of Transformations Activity can serve as a performance task for 8th-grade students to apply their cumulative knowledge of Rigid Transformations including Translations, Rotations, and Reflections. Students will create a pre-image of their choosing on the coordinate plane. Students will then create their sequence of transformations and apply each transformation on the coordinate plane. I required my students to include 1 translation, 1 rotation, and 1 reflection in the directions,

Use this activity to assess your student's understanding of rational numbers by analyzing a real-world problem involving the elevation of sea creatures above and below sea level. In this activity, students are given a table of sea creatures and their elevations. Students state what type of number line suits the situation, determine what zero represents, represent each creature on a number line, find the distances between certain creatures, and determine how far a creature needs to travel to rea
