Purpose: Experiment with isometric transformations (reflection, translation, and rotation).
Activity: Fill the TETRIS board with at least five of each shape using isometric transformations. Description: Students completed this after taking a test. They enjoyed the break from "math." But what they didn't know was that this was the type of geometry we would be learning in the next unit. I was able to assess how much we already understood and the students developed an interest for transformations. This was also our first experience playing "Beat the Teacher." I also completed a TETRIS board and the goal of the students was to have less empty spaces than I did. Examples shown below.
