In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. In the second example we look at translations in three-dimensional space in the context of cargo ships. In the third example, we look at the design of observatories to look at rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

Description

This image depicts a scale drawing of a square that has been scaled up by a factor of 1:2. This means that each side of the square in the drawing is twice the length of the corresponding side in the actual object. Scale drawings are essential for accurately representing objects in a manageable size while maintaining proportionality.

Teacher's Script: "Observe this scale drawing of a square. How does the 1:2 scale factor help us understand the relationship between the drawing and the actual square? What are some real-world applications of scaling up objects, such as in architecture or design?"

This image illustrates a scale drawing of a square that has been scaled up by a factor of 1:3. Each side of the square in the drawing is three times the length of the corresponding side in the actual object. This scaling helps in visualizing larger versions of objects while maintaining accurate proportions.

Teacher's Script: "Look at this scale drawing of a square. How does the 1:3 scale factor affect the dimensions of the drawing compared to the actual square? What are some mathematical concepts you can explore using scale drawings, such as ratios or proportions?"

Description

This image presents another tessellation pattern using basic shapes from pattern blocks. The basic pattern block shapes include equilateral triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, hexagons, and parallelograms. They are arranged to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps, demonstrating the principles of tessellation.

Tessellations with pattern blocks help students explore geometric concepts such as symmetry, transformations, and tiling. They provide a visual and interactive way to understand how shapes can be combined to create complex patterns.

Description

This image displays a tessellation pattern created with basic shapes from pattern blocks. The basic pattern block set includes equilateral triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, hexagons, and parallelograms. These shapes are arranged to tile a plane without gaps or overlaps.

Using pattern blocks for tessellations allows students to explore geometric concepts such as symmetry, transformations, and spatial reasoning. They provide a hands-on approach to understanding how different shapes can be combined to form intricate patterns.
