Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Dynamic software is a tool that can be used to explore transformations.
- There are many benefits to using this tool.
- Different transformations can be carried out quickly.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle with only being able to rotate anticlockwise on Desmos.
Turning clockwise x degrees is equivalent to turning anticlockwise (360 - x) degrees.
