Welcome back from your March Break & Happy St Patrick's Day!

Re: History New France task & Math Integers task, some remain incomplete at zero.  Please email the completed assignments to stsimongr7@gmail.com this week.  They were presented before the break and are currently overdue.  Take responsibility for your learning.

TRANSFORMATIONAL GEOMETRY 

Translations (slides)

Rotations (turns)

Reflections (flips)

on a coordinate plane

Pair task:

1.  Translations:

Plot trapezoid with coordinates A(-7,1) B(0,0) C(-6,-3) D(-2,-3)

Translate (6,4)

Plot and label new coordinates of translated trapezoid A'B'C'D'

2.  Rotations:

Tip:  trace & cut out shape as manipulative to rotate

Plot trapezoid with coordinates A(-4,5) B(0,5) C(-6,2) D(1,2)

Rotate 180 degrees clockwise about fixed point D (keep finger on it and turn)

Plot and label new coordinates of rotated trapezoid A'B'C'D'

3.  Reflections:

Plot pentagon with coordinates A(-8,4) B(-5,7) C(-2,7) D(-2,2) E(-5,2)

Reflect in y-axis mirror line

Plot and label new coordinates of reflected pentagon A'B'C'D'

Translation (slide) using Geometer's Sketchpad:

Rotation (turn) on a fixed coordinate using Geometer's Sketchpad:

Reflection (flip) in y-axis using Geometer's Sketchpad:

Di Croce's YouTube videos how-to use Geometer's Sketchpad for Transformational Geometry - Translations (slides), Rotations (turns) & Reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane:

We can all slide, turn & flip like a boss:

Great Collaboration!

Feb 28

• No negative reports from substitute.  Be cooperative and respectful.
• No unnecessary use of electronics for gaming/texting during class.
• Work cooperatively with a partner on integer handout (copies are to be distributed also to Tassone/Bucci students).
• Work on your eco-alphabet letter.
• If you have not presented your math/history prezi, complete and email it to stsimongr7@gmail.com as it's overdue.
