Flips and Slides Grid Drawings

Flips and Slides Grid Drawings is a class set of drawing activities that require students to know the language of, and understanding the meaning of, a flip and a slide. They are suitable for Year 2 and above.

 

This makes a fantastic activity for rotations, fast finishers and relief teachers.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to investigate the effect of one-step slides and flips.
  • We are learning to describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes and to identify symmetries.
  • We are learning to describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes and to identify line and rotational symmetries.
