MIP2601 Assignment 4 Due 5 August 2024

QUESTION 1
Lesson Planning for Teaching “Transformations” to Grade 6 Students
1.1.1 Formulate Three Questions to Establish Prior Knowledge:

What are some examples of shapes or objects you know that can be moved or changed in position but still remain the same shape and size? Can you name any everyday activities where you see something being flipped, turned, or slid? Have you ever noticed patterns that repeat or objects that look the same even when viewed from different angles? Can you describe any?

1.1.2 Describe Two Activities:
Activity 1: Exploring Translations (Sliding)
Objective: Understand how shapes can be moved or “translated” without changing their size or shape.

Materials:
Grid paper
Cut-out shapes (e.g., triangles, squares)
Rulers
Colored pencils
Steps:

Introduction: Explain that translation means sliding a shape from one position to another without rotating or flipping it.
Demonstration: Show a cut-out shape on the grid paper. Mark its initial position with a different color.
Activity: Ask learners to move the shape horizontally and vertically by a certain number of squares. They should mark the new position and trace the shape.
Discussion: Discuss how the shape’s size and orientation have not changed, only its position……….
