Transformations

WALT: Rotate, reflect and translate shapes.




This weeks learning in maths included a very fun activity. Our task was to partner up and figure out who was B and who was A. Our teacher would call things like, "partner A pose at 180 degrees clockwise. Now partner B copy what your partner is doing but do it reflection".

Rotating Shapes Questions

WALT: Learn about rotate, reflect and translate shapes.

This week we learnt about shapes and angles. Our class went onto a site called 'maths is fun'. We answered questions based around rotation, reflection and translation shapes. The first picture is a question I found easy. It is 'The square is rotated one complete turn about the point O. Which of the following shows the new position of the square?'. The other question is the question that I found hard. It is 'When this rectangle is rotated about the point (2.0) by 30% anticlockwise (counterclockwise), which one of these would it look like?'. I just didn't get it. This week my goal is to make the difficult questions easier for me to understand.
