Describing Transformations
In this worksheet, your students will begin to use proper terminology to describe the transformations they see, which will be vital to future work with patterns.
This worksheet is a part of a larger unit designed to teach your students to describe translations, as well as how to use those translations to make patterns, images, and tessellations.
Learning goals
- We are learning to create symmetrical patterns, pictures and shapes.
- We are learning to create symmetrical patterns, pictures and shapes and recognise line and rotational symmetry of shapes.
