  3. Computer animated images such as this dragon are created in a 3-dimentional coordinate plane, and then made to move by applying various transformations to the coordinates

  4. A time lapse photo captures translations of different points of the truck

  5. Transformational Geometry • Grade Level: 7 th or 8 th • Subject Area: Geometry • Topics addressed: Dilations, Reflections, Rotations, and Transformations • Web 2.0 Tools: National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM): Geometry 6-8 • Length of Lesson: 7 days

  6. Transformational Geometry • Aim: To discover transformational geometry • Objectives: • Determine what Dilations, Reflections, Rotations, and Transformations are • Demonstrate the ability to perform different transformations • Demonstrate the ability of using technology to present the assigned transformation project in power point presentation to the class

  7. Description of Project • Purpose • Provide students with a way of understanding what transformational geometry is • Understand the difference between Dilations, Reflections, Rotations, and Translations • Have students learn on their own using technology • Practice the different math concepts

  8. Description of Project • Task: • Students will be asked to use NVLM Geometry to learn and understand the difference between: • Dilatation • Reflection • Rotation • Translation • Students will practice using the rules given specific examples

  9. Description of Project • Procedures: • Day 1 (40 minutes) • Students will be instructed to go to the computer lab. The computer lab needs to be equipped with either a blackboard or a Smart board • The instructor will begin the lesson by talking about what transformational geometry is (brief background) and introduce the first transformation: Dilatation • Students will be then given a worksheet to complete • HW – back of the worksheet has the HW assignment

  10. Description of Project • Procedures (Continued) • The worksheet will instruct them to do the following: • Go to the following website: http://nlvm.usu.edu and click on “ Transformations – Dilation ” • On the website, there is an activity the students will complete • Students will answer the activity questions, come up with a definition, properties, general rules, and a symbol for what a dilation is • Students will complete the back of the worksheet for HW

  11. Description of Project • Procedures: • Day 2 • The lesson will start off with collecting the worksheet from the previous day and introduce the new transformations: Reflection and Rotation • Students will be then given a worksheet & HW to complete (similar to day 1) to complete • Day 3 • The lesson will start off with collecting the worksheet from the previous day and introduce the new transformations: Translation • Students will be then given a worksheet & HW to complete (similar to day 1) to complete • Once finished with translation worksheet, students will either finish any worksheets they have not finished, or the Composition Activity (bonus points)

  12. Description of Project • Procedures: • Days 4 & 5 • Divide the class up into 4 groups. Each group will develop a power point presentation on 1 of the 4 assigned transformations featuring: • New vocabularies • The rules for the transformation • Properties of the transformation • Symbol of the transformation • Examples of the transformation in coordinate plane • Examples of the transformation in real life • Each group will get the worksheet for their transformation back graded. • These presentations should be very detailed and precise. They should feature organization, content, appearance, precision, and uniqueness.

  13. Description of Project Procedures: • Day 6 Students will get back all the worksheets graded Students will take/edit notes on all the transformations Each group will practice rehearsal of the power point presentations • Day 7 • Students will deliver their presentation to the class • Teacher will grade the presentations • Students will take notes and comment on other groups’ presentation

  14. Timeline • Day 1 • Introduction • Dilations • Day 2 • Reflections • Rotations • Day 3 • Translation • Online Activity • Day 4 & 5 • Develop a power point presentation of the assigned transformations • Day 6 • Finish the project and do rehearsal • Day 7 • Perform the power point presentation to the class

  15. Resources • NVLM • Transformations • Dilations • Reflections • Rotations • Translations • Compositions • Smart board • Power Point Presentation Website • Geometry Text Book • www.youtube.com • Doc Stock

  16. Grading Students will be graded on the following: Individual: • The completion of each worksheet (10 points) • The daily HW assignments (10 points) • Daily Check-up (10 points) Group: • Team collaboration (10 points) • Power point presentation (60 points) based on the rubric: Rubric Grade Scales: • A+=97-100 A=94-96 A-=90-93 • B+=87-89 B=84-86 B-= 80-83 • C+=77-79 C=74-76 C-= 70-73 • D+=67-69 D=64-66 D-=60-63 • F= 59-0

  17. Technologies Used • National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) • Web 2.0 Tool • Smart board • Power Point Presentation Software

  18. Learning Activities • Teacher Preparation • Reserve the computer lab for 7 days • Reserve the Smart board / projector • Copies of the worksheets • Grades: • Have each groups worksheet graded by day 4 • Have all the worksheets graded by day 6 • Have all the presentations evaluated by day 7 • Student-centered Learning Activities • Students will learn each of the transformation (how they work) from the NVLM website • Students will apply the knowledge from the NVLM website to complete the Homework assignment each night. • Students will collaborate with each other to create a power point presentation and present to the class about each transformation (definitions, properties, general rules, symbols and examples)

  19. Higher Order Thinking • Knowledge • Students will have to master transformational geometry and recall the information when making the power point presentation to the class. • Comprehension • Students will have to understand what the different types of transformations are. They will also have to predict what will happen given a specific example. • Application • Students will have to demonstrate the different transformations and show how to apply each transformation.

  20. Higher Order Thinking • Analysis • Students will compare the different transformations to find the difference between them. They will also explain the different properties for each transformation. • Synthesis • Students will need to draw conclusions to find the different rules on the different transformations. • Evaluation • Students will assess and explain different examples to determine different transformations. Students will have to explain which transformation(s) was used that transformed the image.
