It looks like a crime scene ...

Today we studied transformation.  I love this math lesson, because there is so much to do.  After defining translation, rotation and reflection, we practiced this by playing Simon Says---Simon says translate right, Simon says rotate 90 degrees and well you get the picture.  Then we go outside with our sidewalk chalk, boys with boys and girls with girls.  Your partner lays on the sidewalk and you outline them using the sidewalk chalk.  Then, your partner rotates 90 degrees and you chalk their outline again.  It looks like a crime scene when we finish, but they really enjoy this lesson.
