What is a transformation? Be sure to explain it in your own words. Knowing the “math definition” is not enough evidence that you (and Miya) understand what a transformation is. b. What are the different types of transformations? (Be sure to explain what they are in your own words and one real-world example of each so that Miya really understands them.) c. What is a tessellation? (Be sure to give at least one real-world example so Miya understands what a tessellation is. It can not be given in the directions or on this sheet. You might have to use the Internet.) d. Why did we have to make a tessellation? What does it have to do with transformations? Be sure to explain what type of transformation(s) is/are used in your tessellation.

Dear Maya, Sorry you are so sick! I am happy to help with your questions. A transformation is something that changes an object. It could alter the size, location, or orientation. Let me explain the types of transformations. A translation is the movement of an object from one place to the other. Nothing about the object changes except for its location. This is like sliding your cup closer to you on a table. A reflection flips an object over a line or point. The objects stay the same distance away from the said line or point. This transformation changes the location and orientation of the object, but nothing else. An example of this is the reflection of a tree onto a lake. Rotations are a type of transformation that changes only the orientation of an object. The rotation of an object is measured in degrees. An example of this is a ferris wheel. The last type of transformation we learned about is dilation, which changes the size of an object. It can make it bigger or smaller. If the scale factor is between 1 and 0, the dilation makes the object smaller. That is a reduction. If the scale factor is greater than 1, the object gets larger, which is called an enlargement. An example of this is a blueprint for a building. A tessellation is a repeating pattern of a shape that has no gaps or overlaps. Examples of this are beehives, brick walls, and soccer balls. We had to make a tessellation because it gives us an example of translations. In order to make it, you must repeatedly translate your template. Hopefully this helps! Get well soon, Sarah
