Translations, Rotations, and Reflections (Transformations in Geometry)
This PowerPoint presentation uses animations to demontrate 3 types of tranformations: translations, rotations, and reflections. Students can actively create their own transformational shape that can then be translated, rotated, or reflected to build a tessellation. Turn Geometry into a fun art project where students can add color to their tessellation to create an image out of te transformed shape.
