Grade 5 - Shape and Space

Standard 5.SS.7 - Practice identifying reflections, rotations and translations on a coordinate grid.

Included Skills:

Identify, create, and analyze single transformations of 2-D shapes (with and without the use of technology).
• Carry out different transformations (translations, rotations, and reflections) concretely, pictorially (with or without the use of technology), or physically and generalize statements regarding the position and orientation of the transformed image based upon the type of transformation.
• Determine if a given 2-D shape and its transformed image match a set of transformation instructions and explain the conclusion reached.
• Draw a 2-D shape, translate the shape, and record the translation by describing the direction and magnitude of the movement.
• Draw a 2-D shape, rotate the shape, and describe the direction of the turn (clockwise or counter clockwise), the fraction of the turn, and the point of rotation.
• Draw a 2-D shape, reflect the shape, and identify the line of reflection and the distance of the image from the line of reflection.
• Predict the result of a single transformation of a 2-D shape and verify the prediction.
• Describe a single transformation that could be used to replicate the given image of a 2-D shape.
• Identify transformations found within one's home, classroom, or community, describe the type and amount of transformations evident (e.g., translation to the left and up, ¼ of a rotation in a clockwise direction, and reflection about the right side of the shape), and create a concrete or pictorial model of the same set of transformations.
