Standard: 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.[br][br]Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate how to rotate a figure about the origin, experiment with translating and rotating (or vice versa) a figure and explain the difference between translation and rotation.
How would you describe the movement you have seen in the figure above?
How would you describe the green section you have seen in the figure above while moving M?
Move points C,D or E. What do you notice?
What do you think the angle is between point C and C' about point A?
What do you think the angle is between point D and D' about point A?
What do you think the angle is between point E and E' about point A?
Is the figure above an example of a rotation? If not, what is it an example of? Explain your response.
6. How would you describe what rotation is in your own words?
7. Think about how you may rotate a body part and what the fixed point is. Be ready to discuss and show with your partner/group!
