Transformations Project:
"Create" an Obstacle Course
Task: You must use some form of geometric technology to create an obstacle course which demonstrates your knowledge of transformations. Special focus needs to be placed upon HOW to do each transformation. Your final project will be a 5 minute or less screen cast, where you walk the viewer through the obstacle course. Get creative, but be sure to keep the focus on the math and the technology, rather than ONLY the story.
Here is an example of what we have in mind:
Mario is trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser.
(NOTE: You may not use this idea for your obstacle course.)
Minimum Guidelines:
· One image must be inserted (be sure to cite your source)
· Four obstacles must be created (they CAN be images as well)
· Four transformations must be shown (translation, dilation, rotation, and reflection)
· Screen cast must be less than 5 minutes
Rubric:
Citation of image sources (in MLA format) 5 pts
Minimum Guidelines met for number of obstacles: 5 points
Quality of obstacles: 5 points
Minimum Guidelines met for number of transformations: 5 points
Quality of transformations: 5 points
Minimum Guidelines met for screen cast time: 10 points

Partner grade: 10 points
EXTRA CREDIT: (Up to 5 points) More transformations, intricacy of obstacle course (create your own obstacles?)
