Step One: Watch a video Symmetry and Transformations.
Step Two: Learn some vocabulary words.
1. congruent = the same or equal
2. dilation = getting bigger or smallerÂ
3. isometric transformation = moving a shape in space but keeping the same shape
4. reflection = flip
5. rotation = think of the hands on an analog clock
6. symmetrical = two equal parts that face each otherÂ
7. translation = slideÂ
8. vertex and vertices = a point or points on a shape (think of the tips of a star)
9. x axis = the horizontal line on a graph
10. y axis = the vertical line on a graph
Step Three: Practice what you have learned.
Level 5:Â 5.1Â Â 5.2Â Â 5.3Â Â 5.4Â Â 5.5Â Â 5.6
Level 6:Â Â 6.1Â Â 6.2Â Â 6.3Â Â 6.4Â Â 6.5Â Â 6.6Â 6.7
Level 7:Â Â 7.1Â Â 7.2Â Â 7.3Â Â 7.4Â Â 7.5Â Â 7.6Â Â Â 7.7
Step Four: Create an art project that shows mathematical transformations.
