Pre-AP Geometry Transformations Mural Project: Transforming New Tech

[ Note to regular geometry students: this project is not required for you, but is available for extra credit.]

  • Get in a group of 2-3 people (no more than 3, and no working alone).
  • Use Geogebra to design a mural (logo or image to be painted on a wall) for New Tech that uses all four transformations plus a composite transformation (two or more transformations used at once). Your design should show pride in New Tech and all it stands for (21st century skills, Professionalism 24/7, Trust, Respect, and Responsibility). This is a competition, judged by New Tech teachers, Akins math teachers, and Mr. Bacom. Winner(s) will be painted on my classroom wall.
  • Original images only! No inserted clipart.
  • Use the transformation tools in Geogebra; you'll save yourself a lot of time and effort!
  • Use the "insert text" tool to write in all the transformation rules, and to put your team members' names on it.
  • Finally, do a printscreen and save it as an image, and then turn it in to my dropbox.
This is due by end of class next time (Wednesday).
