  • Group individuals that made the same mistakes for targeted instruction

Classroom Considerations

  • Class members need to understand what is meant by a turn and 1/4 turn

Pros

  • Three questions cover all of the rigid transformation
  • The rubric gives details on how to provide partial credit

Cons

  • None
