Curated OER
Celebrate Change
Students develop fantasy creatures and characters, describing personalities in terms of gestures, actions, and expressions displayed. Then they make fantasy masks, focusing on shape, form, proportion, line, and emphasis to demonstrate...

Graham Cracker Plate Tectonics
In this plate tectonics worksheet, students use Graham crackers, frosting, water and a paper plate to simulate tectonic processes such as convergent, divergent and transforming plate boundaries.
Curated OER
Frame Animation
Students examine the idea that an object might never have a "fixed" existence and may be a thing existing always in flux by creating a frame-based animation of something that transforms from one shape into another. They create...

Purplemath: Function Transformations
Generally, translation involves only moving the graph around. Squeezing or stretching a graph is more of a "transformation" of the graph. But these two topics are usually taught at the same time, and usually under the same name. Just be...

Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 3.6 Transformations of Log Functions
This section explores the many ways that logarithmic functions can be transformed, and how those transformations cause their graphs to be translated in different ways.
