Introduction
In this WebQuest, you will be overlooking one of the transformations available to do on a two-dimensional figure in a coordinate plane. There are many different types of transformations on a coordinate plane. Today, we will be working with dilations. Next WebQuest will continue on the rest of transformations; translations, rotations, and reflections.
Task
Oh No!
Papa Jonathan needs your help! He's opening up a chain restaurant and needs your help. Play the game and follow the instructions to help Papa Jonathan's business thrive!
The game is dilation focused. Moving points on a coordinate plane left and right, up and down.
Process
Step One: Click on the link below and follow the instructions from Papa Jonathan! The game is centered around dilations.
Step Two: Once you're all done, take a screenshot of your completion score.
Evaluation
This will be counted as a completion score. The games uses stars and levels.
Gain a star for each correct pizza! :) Be careful, you can lose stars for each incorrect pizza! :(
There are 10 levels, complete all 10 levels with 7 stars or more, and you will receive a 10/10 score!
For a chance of 5 extra-credit points, complete all 10 levels with 10 stars!
Conclusion
How do you feel about using internet games to get a better understanding of dilations?
Would you rather use paper-pencil for this type of math work? Why or why not?
Should we continue to use WebQuests for the rest of the transformations; reflections, rotations?
