                 discussion and controversy over what should be taught
                 in high school mathematics, in general, and in high
                 school geometry, in particular. Numerous mathematicians
                 have encouraged the teaching of transformations as part
                 of the standard high school mathematics
                 curriculum[l-4,6-9]. The results of a recent survey of
                 high school teachers of mathematics indicate that 19\%
                 have taught geometric transformations, 26\% feel
                 adequately prepared to teach such a topic, and 50\%
                 would like to teach the topic if materials were
                 available for the average college prep student[5]. The
                 topic of transformations is important because
                 transformations are a unifying factor in algebra and
                 geometry. Algebra and geometry are essentially the same
                 material taught from different approaches. In
                 particular, the abstract algebraic concept of a group
                 can be conveyed in purely geometric terms by groups of
                 transformations.",
