Transformational Geometry!

Introduction

Welcome 6A!

This webquest is to teach you about transformational geometry. In this webquest you will learn about the Cartesian Plane, symmetry, math transformations (e.g. rotations, translations and reflection) order of rotational symmetry, and plot points.

Task

TASK

What you will be doing is a series of games watching many videos to learn about the many different parts of geometry and doing quizzes. And at the end you will have to do a final quiz, that has a mix of everything that you will have learned.

Process

Here are the sites you have to go to, then complete the final test.

Symmetry

First you will have to do symmetry. Here are your assignments.

1)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TldmWSbOvM0

2)http://ca.ixl.com/math/grade-6/symmetry (REMEMBER: Sign in before you start)

3)http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathga mes/geo... (Answer this question on a lined piece of paper: What did you learn from this game?)

Rotational Symmetry

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC2e9PGYYN0 :watch this video. Then think and name the order of rotational for at least 5 shapes.

2) ttp://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry-rotational.html :read this page

3) Do IXL X16 and complete it

4) http://www.flashymaths.co.uk/swf/rsymmetry.swf play this game

5) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlWXuT4R3oI&am...
Watch this video and write down the definition it gives you for rotational symmetry and your own definition. Your own definition can't be the same as the definition it gives you in the video.
Watch this video and write down the order of rotation and the angle of rotation for the first image it shows.

6) http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/maths/shape_space/symmetry/revision/4/ :play this game

7) http://www.quizyourfriends.com/take-quiz.php?id=1404151815403929&a=1 :take this quiz. Then write what you have learned. (Give lots of examples).

Evaluation

Now to make sure you did each part (and didn't cheat!), we have a Unit Test for you to do!

Note:if you skipped a part, go back right now! Write all the answers on a lined peice of paper.
