4/27 Lesson 6.1.3 Rules of Transformations

1.  Warm-up:  Grab a piece of graph paper and patty paper
  • On a coordinate plane, plot the triangle made by the ordered pairs A:(3,1)  B:(3, -2)  and C:(6, 1)
  • Transformation 1:  Translate left 2 units and down 3 units
  • Transformation 2:  Rotate 90 degrees clockwise about the origin
  • Transformation 3:  Reflect across the x-axis
*Challenge:  Can you transform the original triangle to its ending position in a different way?  Write instructions for doing so.

2.  Lesson 6.1.3 Rules of Transformations
  • Objective:  I will begin to generalize ways to quickly translate and reflect shapes.  I will write those generalizations as "rules"
  • Problems 18 and 19 ask you to make generalizations about translations using addition.
    • Write a rule that a 7th grader could use to understand how a translation affects the coordinates of an ordered pair.
  • Problems 20 through 22 ask you to make generalizations about reflections using multiplication.
    • Write a rule that a 7th grader could use to understand how a reflection affects the coordinates of an ordered pair.
  • Problems 23 and 24 in teams
