Isometric Transformations (Rotation, Reflection, Translation) Doodle Notes

Rotations, translations, and reflections on the coordinate plane- Visual Interactive "Doodle Notes"

When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity:
- new learning
- relaxation (less math anxiety)
- visual connections
- better memory & retention of the content!

Students fill in the sheets, learn the formulas, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on.

Content includes:
- notation for image and preimage (prime notation for points)
- how to reflect, rotate, or translate a figure
- preserving size so that original image and translated image are congruent
- practice & examples for each
- letter reminders for each (slide, flip, around)
- compound (2 step) transformations
- isometry definition

Reviews from other teachers:

-Used as a study guide for my daughter in Geometry! She is filling in the notes as a way to review the topics taught throughout the year!

-This was a great review for my students before we started translations. Last year was a rough year and let's be honest, remote learning didn't always reach all the students and most don't remember last year, so this really helped the students to understand before we started translations and had them to be better prepared.

-My students enjoy Doodle Notes so this one was no exception. Great simple examples for them to be introduced to. Thank you!

-This became a resource for my students to discuss their understanding to fill in these notes. These notes then became a part of their ISN.

-I used this material as I prepare lesson plans to submit to district and present to other math teachers during our meetings this summer. The material was excellent by clearing up the understanding of what is sometime a difficult concept by the students to focus on the picture after using the presented concept.
