Struggling with Perpendicular Lines

Students in Grade 8 are expected to develop an understanding of various geometric transformations on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They should be able to graph points or sets of points after applying transformations such as translations, reflections, and rotations.

Reflecting

"demonstrate that they are reflecting on and monitoring their thinking to help clarify their understanding as they complete an investigation or solve a problem (e.g., by assessing the effectiveness of strategies and processes used, by proposing alternative approaches, by judging the reasonableness of results, by verifying solutions);" http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/secondary/math910curr.pdf

Reasoning

Students used prior knowledge of slopes/negative and positive numbers in order to reflect on "how" they knew what next steps to take.

"I started by putting in the known coordinates for “m” and multiply by the “x” number."

Students were asked to think about their prior knowledge about slopes, etc prior to solving the problem.

"S2: I think that two lines intersect to make two right angles. Is that right?"

"T: First, it is important that we consider what we already know. Can we come up with some prior knowledge that we all might have regarding perpendicular lines and slopes?"

Graphing

"Location and Movement By the end of Grade 8, students will: – graph the image of a point, or set of points, on the Cartesian coordinate plane after applying a transformation to the original point(s) (i.e., translation; reflec- tion in the x-axis, the y-axis, or the angle bisector of the axes that passes through the first and third quadrants; rotation of 90°, 180°, or 270° about the origin); – identify, through investigation, real-world movements that are translations, reflec- tions, and rotations." http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/math18curr.pdf

"S1: I learned that a positive slope is y=mx + b and a negative slope is y= 1/m x + b."
