A Transformation's Adventure with Patty Paper: Exploring Translations, Reflections and Rotations.

This lesson is an introduction to isometric transformations explained using patty paper. Meant for students with limited access to technology, it uses patty paper as a principal resource. Translations, reflections and rotations will be explained and practiced with this inexpensive element, emphasizing the properties preserved during those transformations and, without sacrificing precision, allowing students to differentiate between these isometries in a simple way.
