Lesson Planning Sheet Title: Rotating Objects Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson: All students should

d be able to rotate an object 180 about a centre with touches the shape. Most students should be able to rotate an object about a centre which does not touch the shape. Some students should be able to describe a rotation using the amount of turn and position of the centre. Keywords: Rotation, Centre, Object, Image, Clockwise, Anticlockwise Learning Activities Starter/Introduction Students are challenged to identify which spelling of MATHS has been correctly rotated 90 degrees. The direction of turn is not provided in order to add challenge to the task. Have the class explain and justify their decision as a means to introduce the main learning objectives. Development Discuss that to perform a rotation three properties are needed: amount of turn, direction of turn and centre. To rotate the first object on the second slide a large sheet of tracing paper will be needed. Cover the object with the tracing paper and mark the position of the vertices. Rotate the object 90 clockwise about the red dot that indicates the centre. It is important to demonstrate the method to the class using the same equation they have. The rotated shape becomes the image of the original object. A copy of these problems is provided in additional resources. For the third problem on the second slide discuss the importance of the direction of turn when rotating by 180. Students should be able to progress through the problems on the third slide independently. Use the Geogebra files to feedback solutions. Plenary The plenary is intended to be used as an opportunity for display work as well as consolidating the learning of the lesson. Have the class attempt the rotations using cm 2 paper. It is important for the diagrams to be kept fairly simple since future rotations could overlap. Differentiation More able: Students could be given the object and image and tasked with determining the angle and direction of rotation and its centre. The centre could be placed within the object so the image overlaps. Less Able Students may need to rotate object when the centre is along the object edge.
