Shape Transformations and Patterns

Shapes being flipped, slid and turned

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To

Today we are learning to:

• Understand what happens when 2D shapes are flipped, slid, and turned

• Create patterns by transforming shapes

• Use descriptive language to talk about transformations

🔄 Part 1: Shape Transformations

1. Circle the correct transformation word for each picture:

When a triangle moves to a new position without changing its shape:

Flip

Slide

Turn

2. When a square is reflected like in a mirror, this is called:

Flip

Slide

Turn

3. When a circle rotates around a point, this is called:

Flip

Slide

Turn

4. Draw what happens when you flip this triangle across the dotted line:
5. Complete this pattern by sliding the square to the right:

🎨 Part 2: Creating Patterns

6. Use the space below to draw your own pattern using flips, slides, or turns. Start with one triangle:
7. Describe what transformations you used in your pattern:

I used: ________________________________

8. Look at this pattern: Circle → Square → Circle → Square

What transformation is being used?

9. Extension Challenge: Create a pattern using TWO different transformations (flip AND slide, or turn AND flip):
10. Explain your extension pattern to a friend. What did you notice?
