Transformation Performance Task
Quilt Square
• Demonstrate an understanding
of transformations by creating
a symmetrical quilt square
• Use the information learned
from the investigation to
represent varying
transformations
• Use at least two different
shapes
• Use a coordinate plane to
determine the coordinates of
your transformations
• Be creative and imaginative
Tessellation
• Demonstrate an understanding
of transformations by creating
a tessellation
• Use the information learned
from the investigation to
represent varying
transformations
• Use pattern block polygons or
create Escher type shapes
• Be creative and imaginative
Make Your Own Escher
Tessellations 1
Step 1: Start with a simple
shape that will tessellate
e.g. a rectangle.
Step 2: Remove a shape or
shapes from one side of the
rectangle and fix them to the
opposite side.

Tessellations 1
Use this as a template to create your tessellation.

Tessellations 2
You could start with a hexagon and cut semi-circles
from three of the sides and fix them to the opposite
sides like this.
