QUESTION 1
1.1 Assume that you are planning a lesson in which you will teach a Grade 6 class the topic
“Transformations”. Without drawing a lesson plan, answer the following questions:
1.1.1 Formulate three questions that you will ask to establish the learners’ prior knowledge. (6)
1.1.2 Describe two activities that you will do with your learners in class (your activities should
cover all aspects of the topic). In your activities, you should include relevant drawings which
will be used in the activities and your step-by-step explanation of the specific aspect of the topic
about which the activity is. (6)
1.1.3 Discuss three misconceptions that you may expect learners to have. (6)
1.1.4 Design, on a worksheet, three items which can be used in this lesson. (Your items should
test the concept of Transformations.) (6) MIP2601/102/0/2024 4
1.2 Develop a marking guideline for the worksheet in 1.1.4 (4)
1.3 Discuss 4 items from the environment that you can use to introduce the concept
Transformation and how you will use them (4) [32]
1.1 Planning the Lesson on Transformations
1.1.1 Questions to Establish Learners’ Prior Knowledge
1. What shapes can you name and draw from memory?
, o Reasoning: This question assesses the learners’ familiarity with basic geometric
shapes, which is fundamental for understanding transformations.
2. Can you explain what it means if a shape is symmetrical?
o Reasoning: This question checks if students understand symmetry, a key concept
related to transformations such as reflections.
3. Have you ever noticed how some patterns or shapes repeat in a certain way? Can
you give an example?
o Reasoning: This helps identify if students have an intuitive understanding of
translations, rotations, and reflections seen in everyday life.
1.1.2 Activities to Cover All Aspects of Transformations
Activity 1: Reflection
• Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Draw a simple shape (e.g., a triangle) on graph paper.
2. Draw a line of symmetry (mirror line) on the graph paper.
3. Have students fold the paper along the mirror line to see the reflection of the
shape.
4. Unfold the paper and draw the reflected shape on the other side of the mirror line.
• Relevant Drawing:
o Original Triangle on one side of the line of symmetry.
