Grade: 8th Grade
Subject: Math
Topic: Transformations (Translations, Rotations, Reflections, and Dilations)
Description: Students demonstrate their understanding of transformations by creating stop motion videos using Google Slides They modeled the movements of a shape on the coordinate plane and show their understanding of whether the shape retains its congruence and orientation.
Math TEKS: 10(A) generalize the properties of orientation and congruence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations of two-dimensional shapes on a coordinate plane; 10(B) differentiate between transformations that preserve congruence and those that do not; 10(C) explain the effect of translations, reflections over the x- or y-axis, and rotations limited to 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° as applied to two-dimensional shapes on a coordinate plane using an algebraic representation;
Technology TEKS: 1(A) identify, create, and use files in various formats such as text, raster and vector graphics, video, and audio files; (B) create original works as a means of personal or group expression; (C) explore complex systems or issues using models, simulations, and new technologies to make predictions, modify input, and review results; and (D) analyze trends and forecast possibilities.
2(B) communicate effectively with multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats;
4(B) plan and manage activities to develop a solution, design a computer program, or complete a project; (E) make informed decisions and support reasoning; and (F) transfer current knowledge to the learning of newly encountered technologies.
