Geometric Transformations 8th Grade Introduction Lesson using Discovery

Are you in need of a Geometric Transformations discovery lesson? This full lesson will help students gain deeper understanding of transformations because they are discovering properties themselves. See below for detailed directions!

⭐This resource includes⭐

• Lesson plan instructions
• Student graphic organizer (2 versions)
• Class summary posters (2 versions)

✨How This Activity Works✨

1. Print one copy of the brainstorm graphic organizer per team or per student.
2. Give students time to discuss and write down their ideas. (Notice & Wonder)
3. Have students summarize their ideas into one word.
4. I had hung the class summary posters around the room on my whiteboards. Using that one word, team members added it to the board around the poster.
5. After, I went around discussing with the class what the academic word for each transformation was. I linked their discoveries to the academic term which helps provide ownership of the learning.
