Last week, I wrote a post about using a hole punch to find function inverses in algebra. A few people asked on Facebook if the process would also work for geometric reflections, and it absolutely does! In this post I share an easy, hands-on method for demonstrating reflections and rotations of geometric shapes and their coordinates in the coordinate plane. The video included in the post covers reflecting over the x-axis, over the y-axis and over the line y = x. This same method will work for reflecting over any line of symmetry in the coordinate plane, even linear equations. I then share an idea for showing geometric rotations with a hole punch. 1: Reflections Above is a quick video showing how to use a hole punch and a template to reflect a geometric shape in the coordinate plane. I glued the colored paper behind the holes just so that they were easier to see on the video. This probably wouldn't be necessary in the classroom. Here is the PDF of templates in my Google Drive. There are graphs to demonstrate inverse functions in there, too, so it's named hole punch inverse functions. But you'll find the geometric shapes in there, towards the end of the PDF. 2: Rotations Geometric rotations in the coordinate plane. I added 3 templates into the PDF template file linked above to show geometric rotations with a hole punch. The grid I used for this rotation is the blank template from the Google Drive file linked above. I cut cut into half of the y-axis to show the clockwise rotation from quadrant 4 into quadrant 3. I've been posting the videos on my Facebook page and on my YouTube channel. The hole punch that I used in the videos is a 1/8th-inch with a 2-inch reach. It looks like the one in this picture. I had gotten mine from a craft store years ago (probably in the paper craft aisle, though I can't remember exactly), but this screenshot came from Amazon. *If you don't have this longer reaching hole punch, an alternative is to have students poke holes in the paper with their pencils. One teacher commented that she prints the templates smaller so that they can be glued into student notebooks. I thought that was a really great idea. UPDATE: Teacher Eric Funke was super generous in creating and sharing a printable set of lessons he made based on the video and handouts in this post. You can make a copy of his lessons here in my Drive.

In our 2021 article “Measuring Digital Transformation”[1], we argued that the application of appropriate KPIs (key performance indicators) is essential for the success of digital transformation initiatives. Further research[2] and experience continue to support the importance of measurement, and also highlight the challenges of finding and applying the right measures. Therefore, we developed a comprehensive […]

Product Description Included is four booklets: reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations. Each booklet has information about the transformation, includes rules, a practice problem, and a sequence of transformations. There are many ways that students can construct their booklets. They can glue them into their interactive notebooks, use as 4 handheld booklets, or staple together to create one booklet.
Rotation, reflection, and translation made easy.
My pre-algebra classes just finished their unit on transformations. They loved the graphing and finding something that 8th graders love to do right before winter break is worth its weight in gold! I found a mini-project that Pam at pperfectsquares shared on transformations. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it a summative assessment for my students. So I added a few things to Pam's mini-project and I think turned out to be a great assessment for my kids. Their homework the night before was to create the picture and write down the ordered pairs. I didn't tell them it was going to be part of their assessment so those that did their homework had a head start. Picture Transformation Assessment Your summative assessment for transformations will be an in class project. You will need to draw a pre-image of a picture that has 10 or more points. The pre-image should have detail to it and not just be a picture of a shape or letter like we did in class. Your pre-image should be completely inside one of the quadrants on the coordinate plane. It does not matter which quadrant you start in. It is your choice. Use your imagination when deciding on a picture and impress me! Draw you pre-image and place points at all of the vertices. List the points and ordered pairs on the transformation summative activity chart. Next you will accurately translate, reflect and rotate your image. You may do this in any order that you want. All points should be listed accurately with a title above it so I can determine if your transformations are correct. Each image should have an arrow showing the direction that the image is moving,(remember we drew arrows), as well as color coding the image and ordered pairs. You will have 2 days to complete this in class. (This actually took 3 1/2 days. We have 45 minute periods.) They will be left in class and passed back on day two. They may not leave the room. Remember to document all of the transformations and label the vertices correctly. Make sure to look at the rubric if you have questions. Here are some examples of their final products. I love this one! Very creative and neatly done. Beautiful. This student worked so hard on her picture and getting her points exact. She wanted to give up and try an easier picture but I kept encouraging her. She did a great job and was so proud of herself! As you can see, she went above and beyond the expected 10 points:D Nicely done. I like the color coding on this one. You know what this student was thinking about. This is a great picture but this student did not list the transformation or show arrows to depict the movements. Still it is so pretty I had to show you. I've included the documents for the lesson below. I'm not the greatest at writing rubrics so it isn't the best. Feel free to change it and send me a copy. If you do, that would be awesome.

According to the dictionary, a pioneer is “a person who is among those who first settle or develop an area, and prepares the way for others to follow.” Reflecting on this, I realized that this felt similar to a recent large-scale transformation, one that aimed to move the whole organization from large scale IT projects to one that is truly customer-led. Don’t be fooled; being first doesn’t make it liberating or even easy. Being first means it’s mostly unknown, hard, and ambiguous.

Chicago-based artist Rosemary Holliday Hall envisions transformation through Encyclia Imagosis, a sculptural series that brings the physical processes of insect metamorphosis to a human scale. The four artworks consist of oxidized fabric stretched across metal structures, creating a translucent form that highlights the spacious shape of the wireframe. Similar to insect chrysalises, the meshy works serve as a symbolic site for change. “Encyclia Imagosis investigates various ways we make sense of the world and relate to ourselves and others through imagination, metaphor, and material,” the artist writes.

Topic 11: Hidden Objects Hi everyone, Leandra here Well this is a bit of tricky topic isn't it! For a start, how can we show pictures of things that are 'hidden' ??? Well we do love a challenge, and I have plenty of images, and even though there is no video from me this week, I have sourced 2 other videos for you to watch to get your heads ticking...more of that in a bit For now, as you might be aware, we are currently up in the north of England at the Stamp magic show in Doncaster. No doubt by now we are hopefully packed up and driving home, but the upshot of our activity is that there is no one around to draw the challenge winner, so we will announce it here tomorrow. So very sorry for the anticlimax, but do check back this time tomorrow by which time Darcy will have updated this post to announce who has won! Darcy here... What a great topic to explore bottles was ...who knew so much could be done with bottles. I can see a lot less bottles going out in the recycling box now. From tiny accent bottles to large vases and garden lanterns, textured paper vases and some fantastic paint effects. Well done everyone! Sooooo, the winning name from Topic 10:Bottles..goes to...Georgina Ford from Kaardvark So....it's Leandra back with you tonight to explore Hidden Objects. First up this really caught my eye...technically its not hidden...but the words on the page infer that it is, and that's good enough for me..you can see more pictures here on the flickr feed In the same vein...is it hidden...isn't it?? I don't mind, but there are pockets involved, and transparent or not, they still fit the vibe! I love this idea, and really great if you have collected holiday mementos for example. Another one for the is-it-hidden-or-isn't-it category, I do love a bit of a glassine envelope! With the vintage theme, this piece it looks stunning! This is exactly what I had in mind fro this topic...stealth journalling..and I love how these sleeves are custom-made as are the tags inside! It's the brainchild of Michelle Ward, and if you go here to the post, it's part of her Crusade Series, you will found a downloadable printable, and more instructions on the rest of the project and process. I love Michelle's use of colour and composition, well worth a look! So this is another wrapped up item...in fact if you go to the post, you will see they have tied up all kinds of objects! I like that not only are the items hidden below...well almost! But if you go to the post, there are boxes etc tied up with no access allowed, and no sense of what is inside. So you can wrap in all kinds of ways! This next example is from Robin-Marie Smith, circa 2010! Again, it's a simple pocket with hidden contents, journalling style. There is a wealth of colour, texture on her blog, I adore her style, so cheerful and full of sunshine. Here's an actual book made from envelopes. I have heaps of these, they are quite dinky in size, and great if you want to keep special things or vintage items a bit more private. Here's the link to the post. And here is another idea, this is from a French blog, and there are several ideas using a correspondence theme for travel journalling/ scrapping. I love how she has used airmail envelopes to scrapbook onto, it looks so cool around the edges! Check out the post here from some more fabulous ideas! Here is another pocket style idea... ...with an instructional video ...And the cousin to pockets is of course flaps I found this one from a Faber Castell Blog Hop. It's mail art and boy that takes me back! We used to send mail art regularly way back when...like over a decade ago!! It's so much fun as the recipient gets very excited about how beautiful the outside looks, so they are itching to see what is inside! Perhaps you might like to send something to somebody this week, and decorate the envelope? Now this one is a bit different... Crafty Dogma on Flickr has created a collage, but the face is kind of hidden, or looks almost shrouded, Whatever it is, I really like the effect that the person is kind of hiding behind something...I think the use of white helps contribute to that impression. Here is another face, but it's a face behind a face which is very clever, inferring quite a bit about the ageing process. It's from a tumblr account. I think its wonderful imagery! ...this little guy is hidden, and in a bit of a pickle too by the look of it! This one is also interesting. Objects on fabric, with what looks like a soft layer of muslin glued/ stitched over the top and moulded carefully around the items to show their relief. In crafting terms, we tend to do this in a similar way with objects slathered in paint or gesso. Niches also work for this topic, especially if you put doors on them!! Like the Shadowbox below....see the door to the left? Itching to open that!! And lastly, here is a totally stunning book...well more like many books inside books! With a fabulous message about patience buried in the centre! Check out the video below. You must go to the site of the book artist Randi Parkhurst! You can and watch the video here or click play below to see how she has impeccably constructed these books. Patience from Glowing Heads on Vimeo. So you have 2 weeks to think about what you can hide and where! If you are still stuck, check out my pinterest board here for this Topic. I will be pinning loads more over the next 2 weeks, you can follow this and many other PA related boards here. You can also follow the PaperArtsy pinterest page here. Whatever you choose to do, we can't wait to see it! Don't forget the challenge is open for 2 weeks for you to join in! ~Leandra Topic 11:Hidden Objects.
