Mathematics / Year 7 / Measurement and Geometry / Location and transformation

Curriculum content descriptions

Describe translations, reflections in an axis and rotations of multiples of 90° on the Cartesian plane using coordinates. Identify line and rotational symmetries (ACMMG181)

Elaborations
  • describing patterns and investigating different ways to produce the same transformation such as using two successive reflections to provide the same result as a translation
  • experimenting with, creating and re-creating patterns using combinations of reflections and rotations using digital technologies
