,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]
1.1.1 Formulate Three Questions to Establish Learners’ Prior
Knowledge (6 marks)
1. What do you understand by the term "transformation"
in mathematics?
o This question helps gauge if students are familiar with
the basic concept of transformations in math, such as
moving or changing shapes.
2. Can you describe what happens when you flip, turn, or
slide a shape?
, oThis question checks for understanding of specific types
of transformations: reflection (flip), rotation (turn), and
translation (slide).
3. Have you ever used or seen transformations in real life?
Can you give an example?
o This question aims to link students' prior knowledge
with real-world applications, checking if they can
recognize transformations outside the classroom.
1.1.2 Describe Two Activities to Cover All Aspects of the Topic
(6 marks)
Activity 1: Reflection
Objective: Understand and perform reflections of shapes.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. Introduction:
o Explain the concept of reflection using a mirror
analogy.
2. Activity:
o Provide students with graph paper.
o Draw a shape (e.g., a triangle) on one side of the graph
paper and ask students to draw its reflection over a
given line (y-axis or x-axis).
Drawing:
• Original Triangle: vertices at (2,1), (4,1), (3,3)
• Reflection Line: y-axis
• Reflected Triangle: vertices at (-2,1), (-4,1), (-3,3)
