Description
Students use inquiry to explore the properties of rotations on a coordinate plane using their own snowflakes. Students are given specific directions on how to make their snowflake, line it up on graph paper, and follow the holes around the snowflake in order to discover the properties of rotation. There is a Check for Understanding for the teacher to use as a quick assessment. This is also a fun way for students to practice identifying coordinates on a coordinate plane.
This product includes: Student handout with specific student directions, graph paper, an answer key, and teacher notes.
This activity also pairs well with:

CCSS8.G.A.1
Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
CCSS8.G.A.2
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
CCSSHSG-CO.A.3
Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.
CCSSHSG-CO.A.5
Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
