Description
Using Transformations as an Architect is a project based learning (PBL) lesson designed to get students engaged in a real world collaborative activity.
This activity is designed for a group project. It will take about 2-3 class periods to complete. You will need large tracing paper and graph paper for this activity. Students work as teams to design an apartment and then use transformations to create an entire floor of apartments.
Here's what's included in the download:
- PowerPoint to guide the activity
- PDF of instructions, handouts, helpful tips, and rubrics - 10 pages
- Editable Word document of instructions
- Sample Floor Plans
The main objective is to use translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations successfully in a real world application. Students will also get valuable practice calculating areas, working cooperatively, and being creative.
Extras provided in download:
- Higher Order Thinking Discussion Questions
- Evaluation Rubrics
- Graph Paper
- Link to Quick Video showing how to draw a floor plan using transformations
