This planning resource for Year 6 is for the topic of Transformation. Students continue to develop their understanding and skills in transformations including reflections (flips), translations (slides) and rotations (turns).

• TLF-IDA004316

The focus of this activity is for students demonstrate a systematic approach to trialing and recording possible solutions. Students are encouraged to explain the method they used, compare solutions and prove they have found all the possible solutions.

• TLF-IDM014013

This is a website designed for both teachers and students that refers to the construction of prisms and pyramids from the Australian Curriculum for year 6 students. It contains material on prisms and pyramids including their properties and their construction from nets. There are pages for both teachers and students. The ...

• TLF-IDM008993

This teaching resource outlines an activity for students to explore the relationship between the area and perimeter of a shape, by using a series of cuts in a piece of paper to create a hole large enough to step through. The resource includes detailed instructions for creating the cuts in the paper, an explanation of how ...

• TLF-IDM013998

This is a website providing four activities to develop students' familiarity with three-dimensional shapes, in particular prisms and pyramids.
