3. PLAN A - ONLINE ACTIVITY
1. How to teach the lesson
Pre Lesson
Step 1: Prepare for the lesson
Resources needed: Computer or Laptop with good internet connectivity.
Website: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html
The Lesson
Step 2: Introduce the topic
Give brief explanation about Transformation-Rotation program, how to open and use the
program to the students.
Explanation:
Transformation-Rotation is a program where students can dynamically interact with
an object and see the result of a rotation transformation.
Open the program
a) Go to: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html
b) Choose Geometry Grade 9-12 and then click the selected area as shown below to
view the list of available Geometry topics.
c) Select Transformation-Rotation topic as shown below.
d) Open the program as shown below.

4. Use the program
a) Click the clear button first, to clear the displayed object.
b) Check the box to show the coordinate axes (horizontal and vertical).
Note: To remove the coordinate axes, uncheck the box.
c) Identify the centre of rotation and angle of rotation.
Centre of rotation (Centre point)
Angle of rotation (Angle between two lines)
Centre point= Centre
of rotation
To change the centre of
rotation:Using mouse,select the
centre point;click, hold and drag
it to the desired point.
Angle between
twolines= Angle
of rotation
To change the angle of rotation:
Using mouse,select this point; click,
hold and drag it either clockwise or
anti clockwisedirection to change
the size of an angle.
Clockwise:Drag pointto theright
Anti-Clockwise:Drag pointto the left

5. d) Inserting an object
Note: Students may insert more shapes by placing it at the original object as
shown below, and then, combine it to become one object.
e) Rotating an object
f) Deleting an object
- To delete an object, select an original object and then, click the delete button.
- To delete the inserted object, drag it to the bin as shown on the bottom right
corner of the program.

7. BACKUP PLAN B - CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
1. How to teach the lesson
Pre Lesson
Step 1: Prepare for the lesson
Materials needed: Protractor, compasses, ruler and graph paper.
The Lesson
Step 2: Introduce the topic
Give brief explanation with diagram and examples of Transformation- Rotation on
the whiteboard to the students.
Explanation:
Rotation is a transformation in which object is rotated about fixed point. The
direction of rotation can be clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Clockwise rotation turns an object to the right direction whereas Anti-
clockwise rotation turns an object to the left direction.
The fixed point in which the rotation takes place is called the centre of
rotation.
The amount of rotation made is called the angle of rotation.

9. Step 3: Suggested Student’s Exercise
1) Low achiever’s students
Exercise:
Rotate triangle ABC through 90° in a clockwise direction about point P.
Method:
o Draw a line PC between P and C
o Measure the line PC
o Draw a line 90° clockwise from PC, centre P, the same length as PC
o Repeat the method for B and A on the original shape
o Finally join up the ends of the lines to make the original shape but rotated
through 90°.
2) Medium achiever’s students
Exercise:
Rotate triangle ABC with vertices A (1, 2), B (3, 2) and C (1, 6) through 120° in a
clockwise direction about point P (-2,-3).
3) High achiever’s students
Exercise:
1. Write a rule to describe each rotation.
