Teacher Notes
This page is provided for teachers to give further explanation/clarification of some of the work requirements.
Thinking Maps are "graphic organizers" that are used for specific thinking processes. If you are not familiar with thinking maps, I am providing an explanation for each time a thinking map is used. You can use this information to determine the appropriate tool that you would like your students to use.
In Part 1, students use circle maps to define the different transformations.
In Part 4, student are using tree maps to complete notes. Tree maps are used to classify information.
Google Drive - my students all have Google Drive accounts and submit their work electronically. You will need to modify this if your students use another resource or paper/pencil.
Links in the webquest - I recommend checking all the links before you assign the webquest to ensure that the links will not be blocked by your school internet filter. Also, there are several YouTube videos. You may need to provide alternative videos if YouTube is blocked by your school internet filter or show the videos whole class.

Unit Flow
This unit is designed to use both web-based instruction provided in the webquest and in class instruction. I am providing a sample flow of activities. Some of these activities may take more than one day.
- Introduce unit. Use either webquest and another hook prior to the webquest. Use Part 1 of webquest.
- Compare and contrast rigid and non-rigid transformations, write a summary.
- Explore transformations using Part 2 of webquest.
- Explore transformations on the coordinate plane using Part 3 of webquest.
- Practice with transformations on the coordiante plane using teacher created assignments or Georgia Standards Framework tasks.
- Video tutorials using Part 4 of webquest. Students will complete notes.
- Practice with composite transformations using teacher created assignments or Georgia Standards Framewrok tasks.
- Culminating project using Part 5 of webquest.
Projects for Unit 6
Project instructions and rubric are attached on the Process page for each of the project choices. The Amalgamations Art project is a project I found on the internet a few years ago. I am attaching below the complete instructions. This project is a unique project to do with all students.
