Instructional Ideas
- Have pupils cut out a copy of the pre-image to experiment with different transformations
- Ask learners to create a composition for a neighbor to decifer

- The lesson continues a series of 36 installments
Pros
- Uses a graphic organizer for vocabulary
- Resource encourages multiple methods of creating the transformation
- Provides a detailed teacher guide with ideas for scaffolding
Cons
