1. Cube - Find out which colors will be on opposite faces of a cube whose faces are shown unfolded.
2. Flip, Slide, or Turn - six flash movies allow you to watch the path an object takes while it is being transformed
3. Mathematical Movements (Flips, Slides and Turns) - a 25 page lesson with printables
4. Measuring Turns - what would shapes look like if rotated
5. Sam's Similar Shapes - Students learn about shapes that are different sizes but the same shape.
6. Transformations - how to identify, describe, perform, and analyze transformations involving translations, reflections, and rotations
7. Transformations and Symmetry - many good examples on this Math Art Connections page includes a student project assignment at the end
8. Wrapping Paper Patterns - decide which figures would result from a flip, a slide, or a turn
