In Unit 2, Lesson A, students learn about transforming figures and how to configure them in different ways.
Some of the key concepts covered in this lesson include:
1. Translation: This transformation moves a figure without changing its orientation or shape. Students learn how to use vector notation to describe translations.
2. Reflection: This transformation flips a figure over a line, called the line of reflection. Students learn how to identify the line of reflection and describe the reflection using coordinate notation.
3. Rotation: This transformation turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation. Students learn how to describe rotations using angles and coordinates.
4. Dilation: This transformation changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape. Students learn how to describe dilations using scale factors and coordinates.
During the lesson, students also learn how to combine these transformations to configure figures in different ways. They explore the order of transformations and how it affects the final figure.
To practice these concepts, students are given various figures and asked to perform specific transformations on them. They are also given sets of directions and asked to configure figures accordingly.
By the end of the lesson, students should be able to identify and perform translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations. They should also understand how to configure figures using these transformations.
