Grade 7 Math Geometry games

Here is a fun golf game to practice rotating, reflecting and moving a point (the golf ball) on the coordinate grid. I shot a 1-under par (35) on the 9 hole course. Tiger was -1 today as well!

Not as fun, but still informative is this one, called "Icy turns, flips and slides":

And a tutorial from the BBC in case you haven't understood what we have been doing with transforming shapes so far.

  1. I have a question about the timeline. Can it be three separate timelines? Or does it have to be one timeline consisting of the three civilizations like in the examples?

  2. HI Josh
    It could be 3 separate ones, but if it is, it should also show 1 (general/generic) timeline to show where the 3 civilizations existed/overlapped together (as that is one of the main points of this comparison exercise).
    Thanks for your question
