Introduction

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

This part of the lesson aims to provide a solid understanding of the basic principles of translating 2D shapes, making sure students can comprehend the theory of shape movement on a Cartesian plane. This knowledge is crucial for students to identify and produce shapes that come from translations, which will be useful in future exercises.

Did you know?

Did you know that translation plays a huge role in animations for movies and video games? When a character moves across the screen without changing its size or rotating, that’s translation. It’s also essential for creating repetitive designs in graphic arts and architecture.

Contextualization

To kick off the lesson on 2D shape translations, explain to students that translation is a type of geometric movement where a shape is shifted from one location to another without altering its form, size, or orientation. Use a relatable example, like moving a piece of furniture from one end of the room to another. The furniture's position changes, but it remains unchanged otherwise. Emphasize that translation is one of the fundamental geometric transformations, alongside rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Concepts

Duration: (40 - 50 minutes)

This stage aims to deepen students' understanding of translating 2D shapes, providing practical examples and exercises to reinforce their learning. By the end of this section, students should be able to accurately identify and apply translations to geometric figures on the Cartesian plane.

Relevant Topics

1. Definition of Translation: Explain that translation refers to the movement of a geometric shape from one spot to another on the plane while keeping its form, size, and orientation the same. Utilize visual examples to illustrate this idea.

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

3. Properties of Translation: Talk about the properties of translation, such as the preservation of angles and lengths and the maintenance of parallel lines. Highlight that the original shape and the translated shape remain congruent.

4. Practical Examples: Provide practical translations involving various geometric shapes like triangles, squares, and rectangles. Use the Cartesian plane to illustrate the translation process step-by-step.

5. Application in Problems: Present problems using translation and assist students in solving them, using a variety of geometric figures and different translation vectors for practice.

To Reinforce Learning

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

2. 2. A square DEFG has points D(2, 2), E(5, 2), F(5, 5), and G(2, 5). Translate it 3 units to the left and 2 units down. What are the new coordinates?

3. 3. For rectangle HIJK with points H(0, 0), I(6, 0), J(6, 3), and K(0, 3), translate it 2 units to the right and 4 units up. What are the new coordinates for this rectangle?

Feedback

Duration: (25 - 30 minutes)

This stage focuses on reviewing and consolidating students' understanding of translating 2D shapes, ensuring they comprehend and can correctly apply the concept. A thorough discussion of the questions along with active student participation in reflections and additional queries should reinforce their abilities to recognize and generate translated figures.

Diskusi Concepts

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

Engaging Students

1. Student Engagement: 2. 1. Reflection: What methods would you use to ensure the translation was done correctly? (Hint: Compare lengths and angles among points before and after translation). 3. 2. Question: Why doesn’t translation change the shape, size, or orientation of the original figure? 4. 3. Discussion: Can you think of real-world examples where translation is used? Reflect on instances in your daily life. 5. 4. Extra Exercise: If you had to translate a shape using a negative translation vector, how would you need to modify the coordinates? 6. 5. Challenge: Come up with a translation using a diagonal vector (e.g., 3 units to the right and 3 units up). What will the new coordinates be for a shape of your choosing?
