4.3.spi.4 Identify the result of a transformation (flip or slide) that has been applied to a simple two-dimensional geometric shape Accomplishment 4.3.3.a investigate, predict, and describe the results of transformations of two-dimensional geometric figures (i.e., slides, flips, turns)

ISTE NETS Technology Standards
1a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.

Students will make 2 shapes per transformation. One will be a guided shape. The other will be a independent shape.

Click on the other side of the line, then choose EDIT and PASTE. 12. Click and drag the highlighted shape into a different position from the line. 13. Create a shape from 7 tiles in same step on the right side. 14. Click and drag a line to separate the original. 15. Click and drag a selection box around the shape, then choose EDIT and COPY. 16. Click on the other side of the line, then choose EDIT and PASTE. 17. Click and drag the highlighted shape into a different position from the line. 18. Click on the ADD STEP TO END button from the top toolbar. All shapes will copy themselves to the bottom. 19. Click and drag a selection box around each shape to the right of the line to highlight, then drag to be inline with the original shape.

Flips/Reflections 20. Click and drag a text box out to the center of step 2 and type "Flips/Reflections". 21. Click and drag individual tiles to change the shape to show a reflection. 22. Repeat for shape on the right. 23. Click on the ADD STEP TO END button from the top toolbar. All shapes will copy themselves to the bottom. 24. Click and drag individual piece of each shape back to their original positions.

Turns/Rotations 25. Click and drag a text box out to the center of step 2 and type "Turns/Rotations". 26. Click and drag individual tiles to change the shape to show a rotation. 27.
