Durasi: (10 - 15 minutes)

This stage aims to give students a solid grasp of the fundamental ideas behind translating 2D figures, making sure they understand the theory regarding how shapes move on the Cartesian plane. This understanding is vital for students to recognise and produce shapes resulting from translations, which will help them in applying the concept practically in future tasks.

Tujuan Utama:

1. Explain what it means to translate 2D shapes.

2. Show how to identify and create translated shapes.

3. Apply the concept of translation to various geometric figures like triangles, squares, and rectangles.

Pendahuluan

Durasi: (10 - 15 minutes)

This stage is aimed at ensuring students have a clear understanding of the basics of translating 2D shapes, enabling them to grasp how shapes change positions on the Cartesian plane. This foundational knowledge is important for practical applications in future concepts.

Tahukah kamu?

Ever think about how translation is used in movies and video games? When a character moves across the screen without any change in size or spin, it's a case of translation. This concept is also crucial for creating repetitive patterns in graphic design and architecture.

Kontekstualisasi

To kick off the lesson on translating 2D shapes, explain to the class that translation refers to a type of geometric movement where a shape is shifted from one spot to another without altering its size, shape, or orientation. A good way to illustrate this could be by talking about moving a couch from one side of the lounge to another—the couch's position changes, but it remains the same. Highlight that translation is one of the fundamental geometric transformations alongside rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Durasi: (40 - 50 minutes)

The aim here is to enhance students' understanding of translating 2D shapes, offering practical examples and exercises that reinforce their learning. By the end of this session, students should be adept at identifying and applying translations to geometric figures on the Cartesian plane.

Topik Relevan

1. Definition of Translation: Explain that translation involves moving a geometric shape from one location to another on the plane, without changing its size, shape, or orientation. Use visual aids to clarify this idea.

2. Translation Vectors: Introduce translation vectors, which describe both the direction and extent of movement. Show how to express translations using these vectors on the Cartesian plane.

3. Properties of Translation: Discuss important properties such as the preservation of angles and lengths, and how parallel lines remain so. Stress that the original and translated shapes are congruent.

4. Practical Examples: Provide practical examples that illustrate translation with various geometric shapes including triangles, squares, and rectangles. Use the Cartesian plane to show the translation step by step.

5. Application in Problems: Provide translation problems for students to solve. Include a variety of geometric figures and translation vectors to give them ample practice.

Untuk Memperkuat Pembelajaran

1. 1. Draw triangle ABC on the Cartesian plane with vertices A(1, 2), B(3, 2), and C(2, 4). Next, translate triangle ABC 4 units to the right and 3 units up. What are the new coordinates of the triangle's vertices?

2. 2. A square DEFG has vertices D(2, 2), E(5, 2), F(5, 5), and G(2, 5). How do you translate this square 3 units to the left and 2 units down? What will be the new coordinates of its vertices?

3. 3. Consider rectangle HIJK with vertices H(0, 0), I(6, 0), J(6, 3), and K(0, 3). If you translate this rectangle 2 units to the right and 4 units up, what are the new coordinates for the rectangle's vertices?

Umpan Balik

Durasi: (25 - 30 minutes)

The aim of this stage is to review and reinforce what students have learned about translations of 2D shapes, making sure they have a firm grasp of the concept. Through in-depth discussions of the questions and encouraging student engagement with reflections and additional queries, we expect to strengthen their ability to recognise and work with translated figures.

Diskusi Konsep

1. Discussion of the questions tackled by students: 2. For Question 1: To translate triangle ABC with vertices A(1, 2), B(3, 2), and C(2, 4) by 4 units to the right and 3 units up, simply add the translation vector (4, 3) to the original vertices. 3. New vertex A': (1+4, 2+3) = (5, 5) 4. New vertex B': (3+4, 2+3) = (7, 5) 5. New vertex C': (2+4, 4+3) = (6, 7) 6. Thus, the new coordinates of the translated triangle's vertices are A'(5, 5), B'(7, 5), and C'(6, 7). 7. 8. For Question 2: To translate square DEFG with vertices D(2, 2), E(5, 2), F(5, 5), and G(2, 5) by 3 units to the left and 2 units down, you'll need to subtract the translation vector (-3, -2) from the original vertices. 9. New vertex D': (2-3, 2-2) = (-1, 0) 10. New vertex E': (5-3, 2-2) = (2, 0) 11. New vertex F': (5-3, 5-2) = (2, 3) 12. New vertex G': (2-3, 5-2) = (-1, 3) 13. So, the new coordinates for the translated square's vertices are D'(-1, 0), E'(2, 0), F'(2, 3), and G'(-1, 3). 14. 15. For Question 3: To translate rectangle HIJK with vertices H(0, 0), I(6, 0), J(6, 3), and K(0, 3) by 2 units to the right and 4 units up, simply add the translation vector (2, 4) to the original vertices. 16. New vertex H': (0+2, 0+4) = (2, 4) 17. New vertex I': (6+2, 0+4) = (8, 4) 18. New vertex J': (6+2, 3+4) = (8, 7) 19. New vertex K': (0+2, 3+4) = (2, 7) 20. Thus, the new coordinates of rectangle HIJK's translated vertices are H'(2, 4), I'(8, 4), J'(8, 7), and K'(2, 7).

Melibatkan Siswa

1. Student Engagement: 2. 1. Reflection: How would you check if the translation was done accurately? (Hint: Look at the distances and angles between the vertices before and after translating). 3. 2. Question: Why doesn't translation change the shape, size, or orientation of the original figure? 4. 3. Discussion: Can you think of practical situations where you observe translation? Share examples from your daily routine. 5. 4. Extra Exercise: If you had to translate a shape using a negative translation vector, how would you go about adjusting the coordinates? 6. 5. Challenge: Propose a translation using a diagonal vector (for example, moving 3 units to the right and 3 units up). What would be the new coordinates of a shape you choose?

The lesson connects theory with practice by using visual examples on the Cartesian plane to demonstrate translations of geometric figures. Students worked through practical problems that reinforced the theoretical concepts, illustrating how to use translation vectors to shift shapes on the plane without altering their core properties.

Relevansi Tema

Grasping the concept of translation is vital in everyday life, particularly as it features prominently in areas such as film animation, video games, and graphic design. Understanding how to apply translations enhances one's ability to see how objects and patterns shift and replicate, which is crucial for various practical, creative applications.
