Math K-7 IRP Shape and Space (Transformation)

Students perform, analyse, and create transformations.


Prescribed Learning Outcomes Illustrated Examples
It is expected that students will:
  • create, analyse, and describe designs using rotations (turns), reflections (flips), and translations (slides)
    		• -> Make a design by drawing this figure on paper and making four turn images of the figure.



    Describe the turn centre, direction, and degree of each turn so someone else, given the same figure, can replicate your design.
  • use informal concepts of congruence to describe images after rotations (turns), reflections (flips), and translations (slides)
    		• -> State the coordinates of A, B, and C after the slide (R3, U4). Draw the image and compare the image to the original triangle.

  • draw designs using ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate grid, together with slide and flip images
    		• -> A triangle has vertices (3, 2), (6, 2), and (6, 4). It is flipped into the 2nd quadrant with the y-axis as the mirror line. This image is flipped into the 3rd quadrant with the x-axis as the mirror line; and this image is flipped into the 4th quadrant with the y-axis as the mirror line. Draw the three images and give the coordinates of each vertex of each triangle.
  • connect reflections with lines and planes of symmetry
    		• -> Draw in and label the line(s) of symmetry.
