Transformation

Level 2 - Stage 5

  • Predict and describe reflective symmetry (flips) and draw lines of symmetry in everyday objects

  • Predict and describe patterns using translation (slides) of the same element or shape

  • Predict and describe patterns by rotating (turning) objects or shapes

  • Predict and describe the results of enlargements on shapes

  • Fit shapes together to form a tessellation

  • Predict and check whether a particular shape will tessellate because they have straight sides

Tutorials

Level 3 - Stage 6

  • Enlarge (on grid paper) simple shapes to a specified scale

  • Describe the transformations of an object (e.g. reflection, rotation, translation, enlargement)

  • Design and make patterns that involve translation, reflection and rotation

  • Find all lines of reflective symmetry for a given shape or object

  • Predict and check whether a particular shape will tessellate because it has a right angle and straight lines
