Online Geometry Assignment!

Hello 4th Graders!

We're going to be working together to learn more about geometry, using these nifty sties.
  1. First, we'll experiment with reflections, translations, and rotations on Encyclopedia Britannica's Transformations site. We'll do this together as a class and compare results.
  2. Then we'll do this BBC Intro to Transformations as a group. You'll like this one because of the accent. But you'll need to mute it on your individual computer. :-)
  3. We'll play some more as a group with the following: NLVM: Transformations- Reflections
  4. NLVM: Transformations- Rotations
  5. NLVM: Transformations- Translations
  6. Then you're on your own for...
  7. BrainPop Transformations. Study the video, then do the REVIEW quiz while following along on your paper copy of the quiz.
  8. Study Jams: Transformations
  9. Learn Alberta: Math 6 Spy Guys: Slides and Flips
  10. We'll finish off with a Study Jam and some Karaoke! Let's Classify Some Quadrilaterals!
