Know Describe And Present Shapes
Start here
Focus on translating and reflecting shapes on a grid. Start with “Find Missing Coordinates of a Rectangle”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 5 learners practise translating and reflecting shapes on a grid.
The activities include Find Missing Coordinates of a Rectangle, Identify Correct and Incorrect Translations on a Grid, Match Words Used in Geometry to Their Definitions, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, teaching, worksheet, teaching-practice. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
