This website gives the pdf files for a transformation game. It looks fun for the kids, but I have not played it/used it. The only problem I see is that the cards say: flip, slide, and turn. You’ll have to add the correct terms so that they become accustomed to them. []

Illuminations Lesson 1 on Transformations- Describing figures and visualizing what they look like when they are transformed through rotations or flips or are put together or taken apart in different ways are important aspects of geometry in the lower grades. This two-part tangram example demonstrates the potential for high-quality experiences provided by computer "shape" environments for students as they learn concepts described in the [|Geometry Standard]. Problem-solving tasks that involve physical manipulatives as well as virtual manipulatives afford many students an entry into mathematics that they might not otherwise experience. In this part, Tangram Puzzles, students can choose a picture and use all seven pieces to fill in the outline. In the second part, Tangram Challenges, students can use tangram pieces to form given polygons. []

Great lesson for the computer lab! []

With this website students will demonstrate their understanding of slides, flips, turns, and congruence using pentominos. []
