I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Our family tradition is to make ravioli the night before with all of my extended family. I’ve made ravioli since I can remember. This year, my son rolled out his first batch of ravioli … and the tradition continues to the next generation. On Friday, I went shopping with my mom and two sisters, another tradition.
Now it is Sunday night and I am looking over my lesson plans for the week. We are currently studying transformations in geometry. When introducing the transformations, I made reference to driving a car:
Rotations: Turning the steering wheel left or right
Reflections: Seeing the image in the rear-view mirror
Translations: The car moving down the road
I also had the students raise their hands in the air and we rotated, reflected and translated our hands. My students told me that I had jazz hands for the translations. Using hand movements helps my kinesthetic learners as well as my English Language Learners.
