Transformations 2/8-2/11
8.G.1, 8.G.2, 8.G.3 Transformations (1) How can we perform translations, rotations, and reflections in the coordinate plane? (2) Are transformed shapes congruent? (3) What rules can we apply to coordinates to perform these transformations?
Description of Activities and Setting (Include Planned Questions) Warm Up: Students will be given 2 EOG review problems to answer. (We will review the previous day’s problem before beginning the new day’s warm up).
Materials and Time Warm Up Papers Projector
1: Overview: Students will follow their checklist for the Transformations Unit. (Each section includes a Pre-Test, Lesson, Post-Test, and various practice activities).
Unit Checklists iPads Headphones
If students pass a pre-test, they do not have to watch the lesson or complete the post-test. When students are taking pre-tests or post-tests, or watching lessons, they should be in the Independent Learning area of the classroom. 2: Practice 1: When students have completed the lessons and quizzes, they will move to the Practice Area set up with Geoboards and MIRA activities. They will follow the directions for the section they are on to complete the activity. In this area, students are allowed to collaborate with others working at the table. 3: Practice 2: Students will move to the Practice Worksheet table. They will use a dry erase marker to complete the practice sheets. They may be checked by another student at the table.

Once they have correctly completed the practice worksheet, they will complete the “Alice In Wonderland – Delicious Dilations” project to turn in. They may work with a partner if there is someone else who is ready.
Project WS
Once students have completed this assignment, they can move forward to the next section of the checklist. Include differentiation at High, Middle, and Low
4: Students may take their Transformations Quiz as soon as they have completed all items on the checklist and they feel ready.
Transformations Quiz
They have a target date of 2/9, and a deadline of 2/11. As students take the quiz, if no corrections are needed, they will continue on to the next unit.
III. Closure (Plan for maintenance) Reflect, Now (Student Reflection)
Additional Information: Throughout the course of the unit, at least 2 “mini-lessons” will be offered a day, in which the teacher can work with a small group of students. Students must have at least 2 one on one “check-ins” with the teacher during the course of the checklist. This allows an opportunity to monitor each students’ progress and answer any questions the students have about the content or procedure. On Fridays, we take a break from the checklist work, and do either spiral review stations, or a wholeclass review game.
