EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students identify how each shape has been moved by circling ‘flip’, ‘slide’, or ‘turn’ to describe the transformation. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

Understand and differentiate between flips, slides, and turns.
Develop the ability to identify types of transformations in shapes.
Enhance spatial awareness and geometric reasoning skills.

How the Activity Works:

The worksheet presents several shapes that have undergone different transformations. Students are tasked with circling the appropriate term ('flip', 'slide', or 'turn') to indicate how each shape has been moved. This activity helps students solidify their understanding of basic geometric transformations and practice using the correct terminology to describe them.
