Geometry

Transformations & Definitions

in Real Life

G 9 - 10

This lesson helps students explore geometric definitions and transformations through real-world objects and an interactive 3D classroom model.

Students will identify angles, circles, parallel and perpendicular lines in their environment, and investigate rigid and non-rigid transformations such as translations, rotations, and reflections.

Using virtual exploration and transformation tasks, they will represent transformations as functions using coordinate rules.

By the end of the lesson, students will understand how geometric concepts apply to real-life contexts and how transformations can be modeled with input-output rules.

Approximate time needed: 60 minutes

Standards MS CCRS:

CO.1: Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment.
CO.2: Represent geometric transformations using geometric software or digital tools and understand their properties as input-output functions.
