Coordinate Transformations

Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original

Try this together

If your child is asked to rotate a triangle 90° clockwise around a fixed point, can they work out where each corner ends up — and confirm the triangle is still the same size and shape?

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

identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning
