However, they are not included in Chinese junior middle school's plane geometry courses. This thesis discusses the way of naturally integrating the three basic isometric transformations (symmetry, translation and rotation) into our Chinese traditional courses as well as explores their nature and properties, thus constructing geometry courses under the guidance of geometric figure transformations.}, msc2010 = {G73xx (G43xx G53xx)}, identifier = {2013a.00636}, }
