Transformation, Symmetry scavenger hunt Symmetry scavenger hunt || >  Understand the definition of a dilation from a point in the plane, and relate it to   > the definition of similar polygons. > G.TR.08.10 >  Understand and use reflective and rotational symmetries of two-dimensional > shapes and relate them to transformations to solve problem
 * Title: ||< Transformation
 * Subject: ||< geometry ||
 * Grade: ||< 8th ||
 * Time Frame: ||< 2-45 min class periods ||
 * Summary: ||< Students are to find a list of items that have symmetry in the school ||
 * Tasks: ||< 1) Describe the main steps of the activity/lesson/project here
 * Students are to take digital camera around school and look for items that are semetric.
 * Studens are to upload the pictures to the computer.
 * Students are to use the pictures to create a show in photostory showing the symmetry and making transfomations. ||
 * Objectives: ||< * G.TR.08.09
 * Students will be able to rotate, flip, and show lines of symmetry.
 * Students will work in pairs on this project. ||
 * Assessment: ||< As a class we will look at the photo shows. Students will grade themselves. Students need to have correct pictures, transformations, and explanitations. ||
 * Resources: ||< * Camera, microsoft word, photostory ||
 * Reflection: || I have not yet done this. We are working on transformations now. ||
