Formalizing the Concept of Transformations in High
Target Audience:
Secondary Mathematcis Ediucators
Abstract:
The dawning of the Common Core State Standards and PARCC has school systems rewriting curriculum, redesigning assessments, and rethinking instruction.
The concept of transformations is one that permeates the middle school standards in a very concrete way.
In high school, transformations are formalized, more abstract, and used as the basis for congruence, similarity, and the proof of geometric theorems.
Hung-Hsi Wu, author of
Teaching Geometry According to the Common Core State Standards
, goes so far to suggest that “Transformations are a means to an end.”
In this two-hour session, we take a close look at just what is meant by formalizing transformations by collaborating on the development of precise definitions, performing transformations using various tools on and off the coordinate plane, and documenting their properties.
Educators will leave the session with resources that can be duplicated or modified to meet their student populations.
Participants should bring a copy of the Common Core State Standards, a compass, and a protractor.
