describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries (AC9M5SP03)

Elaborations
  • understanding and explaining that translations, rotations and reflections can change the position and orientation of a shape but not the shape or size
  • using pattern blocks and paper tracing around a shape and conducting a series of a one-step transformations; continuing to trace each resulting image, then copying the original position and end position on a new sheet of paper
  • demonstrating how different combinations of transformations can produce the same resulting image
  • challenging classmates to select a combination of transformations to move from an original image to the final image, noting the different combinations by using different colours to trace images
  • investigating how animal tracks can be interpreted by First Nations Australians using the transformation of their shapes to help determine and understand animal behaviour
General capabilities
  • Critical and creative thinking Critical and Creative Thinking
  • Numeracy Numeracy
ScOT terms

Translation (Geometry),  Line symmetry,  Reflection (Geometry),  Rotation,  Rotational symmetry
