Instructional Ideas

• Have scholars use a different color for each step in the transformation sequence to organize the process

Classroom Considerations

• The lesson requires a strong understanding of each transformation construction, so teachers might need to faciliate a review first
• Requires construction tools
• There are 36 lesson in the series

Pros

• Resource is a hands-on lesson that incorporates constructions
• Emphasizes vocabulary and notation

Cons

• None
