Description
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore the geometric transformations of reflection and translation. Students create a design and then, using flips and slides, make a four-part paper "mini-quilt" using that design as the basis. While the formal terms are "reflection" and "translation," the more informal terms "slide" and "flip" are used at this stage. The experience focuses students' attention on the changes these geometric transformations make in a student-designed quilt square. Less
