Unit 8.7: Geometry


Lesson: Graphing Rotations

Objectives:
Students will be able to graph rotations on the Cartesian plane.
Video Link

Materials:

Tracing Paper
Cartesian plane Handouts

Procedure:

In grade 6 we learned about rotations, we called them turns. All rotations like reflections
have several parts:

a) original image (Labelled with capital letters)


b) new image (Labelled with Capital letters matching the original Plus primes)
c) rotatation point (can be part of an object or away from the object)
d) rotation angle (given as clockwise or counterclockwise and the degrees)

For example:

Degrees and Rotations:

The rotations will be done in one of two directions, these are clockwise (CW), rotates
from the top to the right, and counterclockwise(CCW) which takes the top and moves it
to the left. This is easy if you think of a clock, and how the hands turn. Clockwise follows
the direction of the minute hand as it travels from 1 to 2 to 3 and so on. Counterclockwise
moves in the opposite direction, from 12 to 11 to 10 and so on.

The next part is the rotation. We will be rotating images in 90 degree rotations, or by ¼
turns.

90 degree CW: 90 degree CCW:

180 degree CW: 180 degree CCW:

270 degree CW: 270 degree W:

Which of the above gives the same result, even though the rotations are different?

90 CW=270CCW

180 CW=180CCW

90CCW=270CW

We will be completing rotations using a piece of tracing paper, remember that the tracing
paper is not to be discarded or drawn on with pen. Only draw on the tracing paper lightly
with pencil so that you can erase it and reuse it.

Example:
Plot a point at A(3,4) and rotate it CW 90 degrees.

Let’s start with a simple rotation of a single point. On the Cartesian plane, plot the point
A(3,4) and mark the rotation point called point O. (at the origin for this example)

Now that the two points are located, the next step is to rotate the point around the origin.
Place your tracing paper on the Cartesian plane and make a plus sign on the origin, and
mark the point A on the tracing paper. The plus on the origin is so that you can tell the
rotation you have completed. Now rotate the point 90 degrees clockwise.

As you spin the tracing paper, place your pencil tip on the rotation point to keep it spinning
on that point. When the plus sign has made a ¼ turn, then you will have completed a 90
degree rotation.

Sometimes the rotation is around a point that is already included in your image. Rotate
the following image 90CW around point B.

Place your tracing paper over the image and make a plus sign on the B following the grid.
Then place your pencil on point B and rotate the image 90 deg CW. Once in place
carefully mark the locations of A’ and C’ on the grid. (B’ will be the same as B)
