Grade 6 - Shape and Space

Standard 6.SS.5 - Practice identifying reflections, rotations and translations on a coordinate grid.

Included Skills:

Demonstrate understanding of single, and combinations of, transformations of 2-D shapes (with and without the use of technology) including:
• identifying
• describing
• performing.
• Observe and classify different transformations found in situations relevant to self, family, or community.
• Model the translation, rotation, or reflection of 2-D shapes.
• Analyze 2-D shapes and their respective transformations to determine if the original shapes and their transformed images are congruent.
• Determine the resulting image of applying a series of transformations upon a 2-D shape.
• Describe a set of transformations, that when applied to a given 2-D shape, would result in a given image.
• Verify whether or not a given set of transformations would transform a given 2-D shape into a given image.
• Identify designs within situations relevant to self, family, or community that could be described in terms of transformations of one or more 2-D shapes.
• Analyze a given design created by transforming one or more 2-D shapes, and identify the original shape(s) and the transformations used to create the design.
• Create a design using the transformation of two or more 2-D shapes and write, or record orally, instructions that could be followed to reproduce the design.
• Describe the creation and use of single and multiple transformations in First Nations and Métis lifestyles (e.g., birch bark biting).
• Identify the coordinates of the vertices of a given 2-D shape (limited to the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane).
• Perform a transformation on a given 2-D shape and identify the coordinates of the vertices of the image (limited to the first quadrant).
• Describe a transformation of a 2-D shape shown in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane that would result in the image of the 2-D shape also being in the first quadrant.
