Grade 7 · Geometry
Combinations of Transformations and Tessellations
A single transformation is interesting. Two or three transformations in sequence—a translation followed by a rotation, then a reflection—creates richer geometric designs. Tessellations show how transformations can fill a plane with no gaps or overlaps.
