Instructional Ideas
  • After classmates have swapped papers and identified the sequence of transformations, have them find the line of reflection and center of rotation
  • Repeat the examples using graph paper for the constructions
  • For pupils that need more guidance, begin with a set example for the class to create together
Classroom Considerations
  • Constructions tools are needed for each person
Pros
  • Hands-on learning opportunity that requires collaboration and discussion
  • Allows for differentiation as the examples can be individualized
Cons
  • None
