Transformation in Letters

Overview:

Students use the terms 'flip', 'slide', and 'turn' to describe how each letter has been transformed. They also draw what each letter would look like after the specified movement. Designed for students in year 3 and year 4.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand and apply the concepts of flip, slide, and turn in relation to letters.
• Use correct geometric terminology to describe transformations.
• Develop visualisation and drawing skills through transformation activities.

How the Activity Works:

The worksheet presents a series of letters that have been moved in different ways. Students are required to write 'flip', 'slide', or 'turn' under each letter to show how it has been transformed. They will also draw what the letter would look like after the specified movement, reinforcing their understanding of geometric transformations. This activity encourages students to think critically about how shapes, including letters, can change position and orientation in space.
