Introductionm04a8d6c3df9b6a1f_1528450127855_0Introduction

The teacher introduced the topic of the lesson: symmetry about a pointpointpoint. Students will also construct points and figures symmetrical about a point.

Task

Students draw any line segmentline segmentline segment and pointpointpoint S that is not located on this line segmentline segmentline segment. Then, through brainstorming, they try to guess where the image of the this point in symmetry about pointpointpoint S will be located.

Procedurem04a8d6c3df9b6a1f_1528446435040_0Procedure

Identifying an image of the pointpointpoint in symmetry about a point.

Task

Students work individually using computers. Their task is to observe the properties of the pointpointpoint and its image in symmetry about point S.

Together with the teacher they determine the properties of points symmetrical about a pointpointpoint.

Definition of point symmetry.
Point A’ is symmetrical to point A with respect to point S (A’ is the image of point A in symmetry about the point S) if.
1. It is located on the line AS on the opposite site of point S than point A.
2. The distance from point S to point A’ is the same as the distance from point A to point S.

Symmetry about a pointpointpoint is called point symmetrypoint symmetrypoint symmetry.

Task

Students draw point A and pointpointpoint S. Then, they construct a point‑symmetrical to point A with respect to point S.

Figures symmetrical about a point.

Students observe examples of figures symmetrical about a pointpointpoint.

[Illustration 2]

Figures M and MIndeks dolny 1 are symmetrical about point S. It means that each point of figure MIndeks dolny 1 is the image of the corresponding point of the figure M in symmetry about point S.

Students think what figurefigurefigure is the image of the pointpointpoint, the line segmentline segmentline segment, the polygonpolygonpolygon or the circlecirclecircle in point symmetrypoint symmetrypoint symmetry.

In point symmetry the image:
- of the point is a point,
- of the line segment is a line segment of the same length,
- of the polygon is a polygon of the same area and perimeter,
- of the circle is a circle of the same radius.

- of the line segment is a line segment of the same length,
- of the polygon is a polygon of the same area and perimeter,
- of the circle is a circle of the same radius.

An extra task:

Draw any equilateral triangle ABS. Find the image of the ABS triangle in symmetry about the apex A. What polygonpolygonpolygon did you obtain? What are the perimeterperimeterperimeter and the areaareaarea of the obtained polygonpolygonpolygon?

Lesson summarym04a8d6c3df9b6a1f_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Students do the revision exercises.

Then together they sum up the classes, by formulating the conclusions to memorise.

Definition of point symmetry.
Point A’ is symmetrical to point A with respect to point S (A’ is the image of point A in symmetry about the point S) if.
1. It is located on the line AS on the opposite side of point S in relation to point A.
2. The distance from point S to point A’ is the same as the distance from point A to point S.

Point A’ is symmetrical to point A with respect to point S (A’ is the image of point A in symmetry about the point S) if.
1. It is located on the line AS on the opposite side of point S in relation to point A.
2. The distance from point S to point A’ is the same as the distance from point A to point S.

When we say that figures F and F’ are symmetrical about pointpointpoint S, it means that each point of figurefigurefigure F’ is the image of the corresponding pointpointpoint of figurefigurefigure F in symmetry about point S.

In point symmetry the image:
- of the point is a point,
- of the line segment is a line segment of the same length,
- of the polygon is a polygon of the same area and perimeter,
- of the circle is a circle of the same radius.
