**The term your figure represents the portion of your quilt block indicated in the quilt block table. The term smaller portions represents a portion of your figure and is also indicated in the quilt block table. 1. Using at least two different transformations, give a sequence of transformations that will carry your figure to Figure 1 on the poster board.

2. Using at least three different transformations, give a sequence of transformations that will carry your figure to Figure 2.

3. Look at your figure and look at Figure 3. Is your figure congruent to the one in Figure 3? If so, what transformations were used to take it to Figure 3?

4. Prove that two of the smaller portions of the figure (indicated on the quilt block table) are congruent using a two-column proof.

5. Determine whether or not your quilt block is symmetric. What led you to this conclusion? Create a two-column proof to prove your theory.
