“I loved the real life pictures and the graph images. This is a great way to introduce transformations in a concrete way.” -Rachel M.

 

“I used this activity after my students completed the discovery lesson. It was perfect! My students were able to identify the different transformations. I will use it again this year.” -Heather B.

 

“I loved this resource so much. My kids were so engaged and it made me go back and find more to use in small group instruction!” -Tisa R.

 

“My students loved this activity! They were super engaged. I am planning on making it a larger poster and hiding the cards around the room. When they find them, they stick them to whichever poster they would fall under. Overall, super helpful in getting the students to understand the difference in each transformation and the real world cards are AMAZING!” -Jade B.

 

“This was an excellent way to introduce transformations to my math intervention students. They were able to make connections between the real world examples and the graphs. We referred back to this activity multiple times throughout the unit.” -Math in Room 200

 

“This was the perfect introduction to Transformations for my students. Having real world examples with the pictures and then examples on the graphs helped them to put two and two together.” -Jill M.

 

“I used this with my Geometry students as a pre-assessment. Loved getting to see what they remembered from 8th grade.” -Jena S.
