Draw Matching Transformations

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

Students apply the transformations ‘flip’, ‘slide’, and ‘turn’ to given shapes by drawing the result after each movement. Designed for students in years 3 and 4.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand and apply the concepts of flipping, sliding, and turning shapes.
  • Develop spatial awareness and geometric reasoning skills.
  • Practise accurately drawing transformations of shapes.

How the Activity Works:

The worksheet presents a shape, and students transform it step by step. First, they draw the shape after a flip, then after a slide, and finally after a quarter turn. This structured approach helps students understand how different transformations affect the position and orientation of a shape, reinforcing key geometry concepts.
