Grade 5 - Shape and Space

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

Included Skills:

Perform a single transformation (translation, rotation, or reflection) of a 2-D shape, and draw and describe the image.
• Translate a 2-D shape horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and describe the position and orientation of the image.
• Rotate a 2-D shape about a point, and describe the position and orientation of the image.
• Reflect a 2-D shape in a line of reflection, and describe the position and orientation of the image.
• Perform a transformation of a 2-D shape by following instructions.
• Draw a 2-D shape, translate the shape, and record the translation by describing the direction and magnitude of the movement (e.g., the circle moved 3 cm to the left).
• 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 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.
