Description

In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore the geometric transformations of rotation, reflection, and translation. They create a design and then, using flips, turns, and slides, make a four-part paper "mini-quilt" square with that design as the basis. This experience focuses students' attention on both the changes produced by the geometric transformations and on line symmetry.
