ASSIGNMENT 4
DUE DATE: 5 AUGUST 2024
,QUESTION 1
Lesson Planning for Teaching "Transformations" to Grade 6 Students
1.1.1 Formulate Three Questions to Establish Prior Knowledge:
What are some examples of shapes or objects you know that can be moved or changed
in position but still remain the same shape and size?
Can you name any everyday activities where you see something being flipped, turned,
or slid?
Have you ever noticed patterns that repeat or objects that look the same even when
viewed from different angles? Can you describe any?
1.1.2 Describe Two Activities:
Activity 1: Exploring Translations (Sliding)
Objective: Understand how shapes can be moved or "translated" without changing
their size or shape.
Materials:
Grid paper
Cut-out shapes (e.g., triangles, squares)
Rulers
Colored pencils
Steps:
Introduction: Explain that translation means sliding a shape from one position to
another without rotating or flipping it.
Demonstration: Show a cut-out shape on the grid paper. Mark its initial position with a
different color.
Activity: Ask learners to move the shape horizontally and vertically by a certain number
of squares. They should mark the new position and trace the shape.
Discussion: Discuss how the shape’s size and orientation have not changed, only its
position.
, Activity 2: Exploring Rotations (Turning)
Objective: Understand how shapes can be rotated around a point and recognize the
resulting orientation.
Materials:
Protractors
Grid paper
Cut-out shapes
Push pins (for rotation points)
Steps:
Introduction: Explain that rotation involves turning a shape around a fixed point called
the center of rotation.
Demonstration: Place a cut-out shape on the grid paper and pin it at the center of
rotation. Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.
Activity: Learners will use protractors to rotate their shapes by 90, 180, and 270
degrees around a marked point on the grid paper.
