In class we learned about translations, rotations, and reflections. We looked at a website called
brainpop. It was a really cool website however it does cost money which kind of sucks. We saw a cute video of a cartoon boy and a robot that taught us about rotations, translations, and reflections then we took a quiz. We all then got a worksheet where we applied what we had learned.
Translation means moving an object or shape to a different location going a certain direction. Reflection means taking and image and flipping it over the mirror line or axis, it is like a mirror image. Rotation means turning an image on a center point a certain direction.
Kysa,
ReplyDeleteI really liked this activity in class! I thought it was really interesting. There's so many different ways this could be taught in a classroom. Kids could reflect, rotate, or translate across the room and describe the way they're moving. They could even estimate a distance while doing it! Great blog :)
