describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometry software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
- understanding and explaining that translations, rotations and reflections can change the position and orientation of a shape but not its shape or size
- using pattern blocks and paper, tracing around a shape and then conducting a series of one-step transformations and tracing each resulting image, and then finally copying the original position and end position on a new sheet of paper
- demonstrating how different combinations of transformations can produce the same resulting image
- challenging classmates to select a combination of transformations to move from an original image to the final image, noting the different combinations by using different colours to trace images
- investigating how animal tracks can be interpreted by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples using the transformation of their shapes, to help determine and understand animal behaviour
