Classroom Scenario #6

Students create and manipulate geometric figures to observe the effects of changing various parameters using Geometer's Sketchpad software.

I would say that this is a transforming task. I think that the computer allows students to manipulate geometric figures that they could not do without technology. It also appears to be more open-ended because students choose which parameters they want to change.

I agree with Ricia...a tranforming task incorporates the other two levels...the student uses already learned skills and learns new skills by open-ended format.

Definately transforming. open ended and and technology based.

Jen - I agree, it is transforming. Students could not due this manipulation otherwise (without great difficulty).
