B. Establishing
Lesson Purpose
1. Lesson Purpose
The concept of transformation of a figure, whether in its size, position, or orientation, can
be expressed mathematically. The concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation are
abundantly manifested all around us, especially in nature, the arts, and designs.
2. Unlocking Content Vocabulary
Transformation - a change in any form or appearance.
- the operation of changing (as by rotation or mapping) one
configuration or expression into another in accordance with a
mathematical rule
especially: a change of variables or coordinates in which a function of
new variables or coordinates is substituted for each original variable
or coordinate
- maps an initial image, called a pre-image, onto a final image, called an
image.
a. Translation -is a change that moves all points of a figure (image) the same distance in
the same direction.
b. Reflection - is a change represented by a flip of a figure (image) over a “mirror,” which
usually is a line but may also be a point, or a plane (which are called lines of
symmetry, points of symmetry, or planes of symmetry (literally mirrors).
c. Rotation - is a change that turns every point of a preimage through a specified angle
and direction about a fixed point (called the center of rotation).
d. Dilation - is a change in the size of a figure that requires a center point and a scale
factor. (This will not be discussed in detail in this lesson.)
The teacher may guide
students in defining the terms
using the layman’s definition of
the term (i.e. mentioning
Transformers, the movie
series).

C. Developing and
Deepening
Understanding
SUB-TOPIC 1: Points on the Cartesian Plane
1. Explicitation
Key concepts:
1. So-called because of Rene Descartes.
2. The main parts are the x- and y-axes, and the origin. (Figure 1)
3. An ordered pair (x, y) means a location (a point) on the Cartesian plane. (Figure 2)
4
4. The Cartesian plane is divided into 4 quadrants. Quadrants are labeled in a
counterclockwise manner. Note the signs of the coordinates of a point in each
quadrant. (Figure 3)
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
2. Worked Example
Plot each of the given points on the same Cartesian plane. Name the quadrant that
the point lies in.
a. A(1, 5) Quadrant: I
b. B(7, 0) Quadrant: none, x-axis
c. C(-1, 3) Quadrant: II
d. D(-5, -9) Quadrant: III
e. E(2, -4) Quadrant: IV
f. F(0, 1) Quadrant: none, y-axis
g. G(-8, 6) Quadrant: II
h. H(6, 10) Quadrant: I
i. I(-7, -7) Quadrant: III
j. J(0, 0) Quadrant: none, origin
Note that in b, f, and j, the points fall
on the x- or y-axis, so, they do not
belong to any quadrant, name the axis
itself or its specific name (i.e., origin), if
there is any.

SUB-TOPIC 2: Translations
1. Explicitation
From Part II of yesterday’s Activity 2, justify the answer for each item.
1. Rotate 900 counterclockwise 2. Flip or reflect over the x-axis
3. Reduce in size (dilation) 4. Enlarge the figure

5. Move downwards to the left 6. Move upwards to the right
8. Flip or reflect over the y-axis***
7. Flip or reflect over the y-axis***
9. Flip or reflect over y = x 10. Flip or reflect over the y-axis
Translation - is a change that moves all points of a figure (image) the same distance in the
same direction. Examples are numbers 5 and 6. Notice that the blue figures are moved in
a certain direction, where the green figure is.
2. Worked Example
Translate the following figure accordingly. Then write the coordinates of the new figure.

Day 3
SUB-TOPIC 3: Reflections
1. Explicitation
Reflection - is a change represented by a flip of a figure (image) over a “mirror,” which
usually is a line but may also be a point, or a plane (which are called lines of symmetry,
points of symmetry, or planes of symmetry (literally mirrors). Examples are 2, 7, 8, 9, and
10 of Activity 2. Notice that the figures are mirror images of each other. The “mirror” is
called the line of symmetry. It is where the fold can be made to create mirror images. Below
are some more examples.
2. Worked Example
a. Graph the image of the figure using the given transformation.
1.
2.
In the additional examples (car
brand logos), explain that the
broken lines are the lines of
symmetry. Think of the lines of
symmetry as a mirror or the
fold line so it will result in two
same halves of the figure. Note
also that there might be more
than one mirror.

DAY 4
SUB-TOPIC 4: Rotation
1. Explicitation
Rotation - is a change that turns every point of a preimage through a specified angle and
direction about a fixed point (called the center of rotation). Examples are 1, 7, 8, and 10
of Activity 2.
If the fixed point is the origin (-0, 0) and the specified angle is:
a. 1800 - (x, y) → (-x, -y), the numbers stay but take the opposite sign of the number
b. 900 or 2700 - (x, y) → (y, x), the numbers are interchange and the sign will be
dependent on which quadrant the point lies. Note that 2700 can also mean 900
c. 900 counterclockwise.

Reflection
Reflection guide or prompt can be on:
● principles behind the teaching
What principles and beliefs informed my lesson?
Why did I teach the lesson the way I did?
● students
What roles did my students play in my lesson?
What did my students learn? How did they learn?
● ways forward
