Transformers + Transformations

One of the most surprisingly confusing subjects I have taught has been transformations. I think it is because there are a lot of rules and students usually have them scattered all over their notes and don’t remember which rule goes with what. So as a result of that, I have created a TRANSFORMERS graphic organizer! A graphic organizer helps me know how their notes are organized, and lets me organize them in a way that I believe is less confusing for students. And the Transformers addition is because I have often found that the more relatable something is to the students the less eye-rolling and”why do we have to learn math” comments/questions I get.

I usually use my iPad to take notes for the students, and graphic organizers like this are a great way for me to present the information quickly and efficiently!

*I have attached a blank WS as well as my iPad edited worksheet that I did with the students in class. Excuse the poor stylus handwriting! 🙂
