Unit 7 Transformations
In this transformations worksheet, students observe the errors in the reflection of a picture. They determine the number of transformations needed to complete a grid. Students perform reflections according to directions and...
Curated OER
Transforming Triangles
Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...
