Instructional Ideas

  • Create a game to ensure understanding of vocabulary terms discussed within this lesson and previous lessons in the series

Classroom Considerations

  • Take additional time to encourage discussion about any terms or concepts that may be confusing; video segments may be helpful to further explain the topics
  • Assist anyone with special needs as they complete the exit ticket
  • The 15th installment of a 36-part series

Pros

  • Includes an open-ended exit ticket to assess students' knowledge of rotation and reflection relationship
  • Detailed lesson plans allow time management within the class and provides an opportunity to adapt if needed

Cons

  • None
