Standards

HSG-CO.A.2

Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

HSG-CO.A.3

Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

HSG-CO.A.5

Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.

MP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

MP5

Use appropriate tools strategically.

Do Now and Review

15 minutes

Do Now: In this Do Now, students will review key vocabulary like image, pre-image, transformation, rotation, reflection and translation. The first Do Now question requires students to have an understanding of how to work backwards when describing translations. The second question reinforces the idea of an isometry and also ask students to review visualizing how transformations appear on the coordinate plane.

Teachers can also review the agenda and objective for this lesson.

Exit Ticket

10 minutes

The Exit Ticket for this lesson asks students to reflect on their learning. Teachers may also want to ask students to write a journal entry using these questions as possible journal entries.
