When you decide to build something, typically you begin by drawing a set of plans to follow as you work. Sometimes a plan will include shapes that are repeated or closely related to one another. When this occurs, it can be useful to use transformations (the movement of a shape by sliding, flipping, rotating, or changing its size) to help you produce an accurate set of plans.

 

Lesson Outcomes

 

At the end of this lesson you will be able to

  • draw an object after a transformation has been applied
  • determine the transformation used on an object, given the original and an image
Lesson Question

 

You will investigate the following question:

  • How can transformations be used to help plan a project?
