Directions: Use this worksheet to record your answers to the house transformations in the Transformations and Congruence Portfolio. When you are finished, save this worksheet with your answers and submit it for a portfolio grade.
This portfolio includes a story about your life. You will explore transformations of a figure and determine congruence. Within a variety of scenarios, you’ll move your house through a series of transformations, describe the effects, and determine congruence. Graph each transformation described on the coordinate grid under Question 1 in the worksheet. Use a different color for each transformation. Record your answers below.
A flood moves your house exactly 4 blocks to the left and 2 blocks down.
