Task: Draw any shape or picture on one quadrant of the coordinate plane and place the hand mirror
along the x and y axis. Answer the questions from the JotForm based on your
observation
Strategy: Students will observe and analyze the results of the image and pre-image

Center 3: Tool: GeoGebra Interactive (https://www.geogebra.org/m/nHbMeHyC) and JotForm

(https://form.jotform.com/223270420485046)
Task: Experiment with the Interactive and use the JotForm to list 3 characteristics about the triangle’s rotation as a
group
Strategy: Students will view the interactive to activate their prior knowledge about rotation and
communicate as a group to identify 3 characteristics about the triangle’s transformation.

EXPLORE: Lesson Description – Materials Needed / Probing or Clarifying Questions:

Center 1: Tool: Google Slides (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Y5bwfdpS-AhK6ODHk1hKhRMg-
lTQqQtot7M8hZsHw2g/edit#slide=id.p )
Task: Review the Google Slides that will go over the properties and rules of translating an object on a coordinate
plane.
Strategy: Students will analyze the information from the Google Slides to compare their thoughts from the
bellringer

Center 2: Tool: Google Slides (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1c-V-

c9NVqdKmItZEdF7ATKOLEHVHMxiVmPUdukt3u7A/edit#slide=id.p )
Task: Review the Google Slides that will go over the how to reflect an object across the x-axis, y-axis, and any line
Strategy: Students will analyze the information from the Google Slides to compare their answers from their
observation

Center 3: Tool: Paper Windmill and YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ufBW5Cfpgw)

Task: Reference a YouTube video to create a paper windmill and pin it to the origin of a coordinate
Plane
Strategy: Students will be creating a windmill while having a general discussion with their group about how they
think a paper windmill can be used to reveal and perform a rotation on a coordinate plane

c9NVqdKmItZEdF7ATKOLEHVHMxiVmPUdukt3u7A/edit#slide=id.p )
Task: Review the Google Slides that will go over how to reflect an object across the x-axis, y-axis, and any line
Strategy: Students will comprehend the rules for reflection to prepare for their next assignment

Center 3: Tool: Google Slides (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16kiPZ-UmpeV6T2dez7Yhz7poik9yttdlUqTfnN-VaKw/

edit#slide=id.p1 )
Task: Review the Google Slides that will go over the rules about how to rotate a shape clockwise and
counterclockwise about the origin
Strategy: Students will comprehend the rules for rotation about the origin

ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions:

Center 1: Tool: Foldable Activity Handout (file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/GeometricTranslationsFoldable-1.pdf )
Task: Create the foldable and implement the properties and rules for translation from the Google Slides to complete
the problems from it
Strategy: Students will apply their knowledge on the problems from the foldable and implement coordinate
notation to determine the answers

Center 2: Tool: Handout Activity (file:///E:/FALL%202022%20UTEP/SCED%204367/Reflection%20Maze.pdf ) and

Coordinate Plane Template (file:///E:/FALL%202022%20UTEP/SCED%204367/Coordinate%20Plane
%20Template.pdf )
Task: Complete the Reflection Maze and show the work of each reflection on the coordinate plane template
Strategy: Students will apply their knowledge of reflection on the maze by implementing coordinate notation

Center 3: Tool: Coordinate Plane (file:///E:/FALL%202022%20UTEP/SCED%204367/Coordinate%20Plane%20Template.pdf)

and notes
Task: Plot any 3 points on the coordinate plane using one of the triangles on the windmill as reference
and implement the rotation rules discussed from the Google Slides
Strategy: Students will use coordinate notation to determine the points of each rotation and compare the
results from the movement of their created windmill
