Math 8 -Stone

Today, we spent time working on our review for our check up. It was a great time for us to ask questions and clarify any misunderstandings. The review is due on Monday. We will be going over it in class.

Remember for the Check Up we will not be using our notebooks. We can, however, have a note card. This is to help us prepare for next year in high school.

What We Did Today:

Students completed A and B from Problem 1.2: "In a Spin: Rotations." Students made generalizations regarding rotational symmetry. Students then constructed their own rotational figures using 120 degree and 90 degree rotations, choosing their own center point of rotation. Notes and vocabulary are available at http://norupstein.weebly.com/math-8-plus-blog

Focus Question:

What does it mean to say that a figure has turn or rotation symmetry? How is each point related to its image under transformation by rotation?

Homework:

None.
