Review Activity to Share

CMT strand 18 is on spatial relationships: symmetry and reflection, congruence and similarity, rotation and some others. To review, I am having students create a poster using the directions below. This allows them to be creative and to do something different while addressing the objectives. This is a beta version so I'll find out how it goes tomorrow. I'll reflect on this in a post in the near future but am anticipating problems following directions.
