The Big Idea – Being Transformed

Big Idea

Transformations in math include translations (slides), rotations (turns), reflections (flips), and dilations (resizing). These are the same movements used in cultural art and patterns—like quilts, mosaics, beadwork, or tile designs. God gives people creativity to express beauty through order, repetition, and design.

Math + Faith Example

A quilt block may use a reflection to create symmetry.
A mosaic may use rotations to repeat designs around a circle.
A bead pattern may use translations to slide a design across a row.

Transformations make designs both mathematical and artistic.
