🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To

Understand and perform rotations, reflections, and translations on 2D shapes using a grid and record coordinates before and after transformation.

✅ Success Criteria

I can:

Identify rotations, reflections, and translations

Record coordinates before and after transformations

Explain what changed and what stayed the same

📚 Part 1: Understanding Transformations

1. Match each transformation to its description:

Translation

Rotation

Reflection

Turn around a point

Flip over a line

Slide to a new position

2. A triangle has vertices at (2,1), (4,1), and (3,3). If it is translated 3 units right and 2 units up, what are the new coordinates?

New coordinates: (___,___), (___,___), (___,___)

3. When a shape is reflected across the y-axis, what happens to the x-coordinates?

They stay the same

They become negative

They double

They become positive

4. Circle the properties that stay the same after any transformation:

Size of the shape

Position on the grid

Shape of the figure

Area of the shape

✏️ Part 2: Recording Transformations

5. A square has corners at (1,1), (3,1), (3,3), and (1,3). Draw and record the coordinates after a 90° clockwise rotation around the origin (0,0).

New coordinates: (___,___), (___,___), (___,___), (___,___)

6. Describe what happens when you reflect a shape across the x-axis. Use the words "coordinates" and "position" in your answer.

7. Extension Challenge: A triangle is first translated 2 units left, then reflected across the y-axis. If it started at (4,2), where does this vertex end up?

Final position: (___,___)

8. Explain to a friend how rotation is different from reflection. Give one example.
