describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometry software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
Elaborations
understanding and explaining that translations, rotations and reflections can change the position and orientation of a shape but not its shape or size
using pattern blocks and paper, tracing around a shape and then conducting a series of one-step transformations and tracing each resulting image, and then finally 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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples using the transformation of their shapes, to help determine and understand animal behaviour
