Unit Title: Transformations Name: Amani Arar

Content Area: Geometry Math Grade Level: 9-12
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):

Experiment with transformations in the plane:
1. Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line,
and distance around a circular arc.
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).
3. Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.
4. Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
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



Big Ideas:

Undefined and defined terms in geometry.
Transformations (reflections, rotations, translations and Dilation)
Rotational and reflective Symmetries.



Unit Goals and Objectives:

Upon completing this unit, students will be able to:

o Precisely define the following geometrical terms: angle, circle, line segment, perpendicular line, parallel lines.
o Represent transformations in the plane using transparencies, digital tools and/or geometrical software.
o Define transformations: rotations, reflections, and translations.
o Understand the meaning of rigid transformations and non-rigid transformations.
o Compare between rigid and non-rigid transformations.
o Correctly draw the image of a geometrical figure after rotation, refection and translation.
o Identify the rotational and reflective symmetries for regular polygons such as rectangles, parallelograms and triangles..
Unit Summary:

This unit sets the basics to the huge aspect of the term Congruence! Very rich content that includes big titles and a packet of new information such as symmetry, rotations,
translations and reflections. This unit is a concrete base to build on to define the term Congruence through rigid "distance and angle reserving" transformations. Students will
explore rotations, reflections and translations of points and geometrical figures. Amazing and interesting unit! I hope you will enjoy it too!

Lesson Activities:

This lesson covers the third standard in Geometry for high
school level. Students will learn about reflections and
rotations that carry a geometric shape (especially regular
polygons) onto itself. Students will explore a website about
Reflection symmetry. Then, they will also explore another

order.


website, a PowerPoint presentation and a digital tool about
Rotational symmetry. (The links are provided below).
Students will complete a graphic organizer activity (T Chart).
Students can work together as a group or as a pair.
The T Chart must include information about many geometrical
figures such as:
Identifying lines of symmetry (if there are any).
Identifying the angle and the order of rotational
symmetry.
Illustrations (draw the rectangle with its lines of
symmetries).
Explanations or notes (as needed)
