This worksheet uses what students have already learned about symmetry and combines it with a bit of a logic puzzle. Sure to be a head scratcher.
It is a part of a larger unit that was designed to enable students to describe translations, reflections and rotations, as well as identify the line and rotational symmetries of 2D shapes.
Describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
Describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes. Identify line and rotational symmetries
Describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes. Identify line and rotational symmetries
Apply the enlargement transformation to familiar two dimensional shapes and explore the properties of the resulting image compared with the original
Describes and represents mathematical situations in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions
Selects and applies appropriate problem- solving strategies, including the use of digital technologies, in undertaking investigations
Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another
Manipulates, classifies and draws two-dimensional shapes, including equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles, and describes their properties
Visualises, sketches and constructs three-dimensional objects, including prisms and pyramids, making connections to two-dimensional representations
