If you are using these materials with your students, we recommend breaking the packets up into assignments. We created a step by step guide for folks who are not sure how to break a PDF file into smaller chunks: Breaking Up is (not) Hard to Do.  

In Rigid Transformations: Shapes on a Plane, students explore the three types of rigid transformation and how they work. They also learn about the coordinate grid and how it can be used to describe rigid transformations. Students will have the opportunity to practice the kinds of questions they might see on CCRS-aligned exams dealing with rigid transformations and they will also have a chance to use rigid transformation to identify and even create designs and patterns.

PLEASE NOTE: There are several geometry topics that were assessed on the TASC that are not assessed on the GED, including rigid transformations (rotations, translations, and reflections). Because of this fact, Rigid Transformation: Shapes on a Plane has been retired as a Fast Track GRASP Math Packet.

Though students will not see these topics on the GED, they are found on the TABE 11/12. In addition, rigid transformations provide rich opportunities for the intersection of math with art & design.
