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.

"The Great Food Truck Project" - Rate, Proportions, and Percents Unit Assessment

Created by

Mollie's Room

A rates and proportions unit project, centering around the real-world use of percentages and rates. Students work with a small group to create their own concept for a food truck, including what food and drink options they would sell. Using inspiration for "The Great Food Truck Race" and "Sharktank" TV shows, students work to create a best-selling idea, that also showcases their own values as a "company".I hope to share more information and examples of how I use this project with my upcoming ye

This activity is designed to introduce students to the concept of rates and unit rates, through a simulation-style grocery store activity. With a small group, students are given a grocery list, a “$20 bill”, and open access to five “grocery store aisles”. Students will travel the aisles with their “families” while shopping for their dinner ingredients. They have only $20 to spend, so they must find how much only 1 unit of each item costs, as they do not want to overspend. Using their receipt

This power point presentation shows students how to construct thriangles using Pencil, Ruler, Protractor or compasses. Step by step instructions are given for staff below each slide and my students tend to follow the instructions easily keeping up with sir. I then have them write into their books in their own words how they would construct the said triangle. This power point is three of my lessons put on one slideshow. Hence I would treat it as three lessons.

This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation stresses quadrant location and the signs of the ordered pairs that fall into each particular quadrant. It assumes prior knowledge of plotting & identifying points in the coordinate plane. Examples lead students to try to first figure out on their own what a set of un-plotted order pairs have in common. The pairs will fall in the same quadrant and all x-coordinate signs will match as well as all y-coordinates matching. Students can take a 5-question quiz
