Specific Outcomes
MOTION GEOMETRY
Suggestions for Teaching and Learning
Students will be expected to:
Shape and Space (Transformations)
Given a translation, students should describe the direction and 
magnitude of the movement. They could express a translation of 
three units left and two units down, for example, as (3L, 2D).
In counting the magnitude of the translation, a common error is to 
count the corners of the blocks rather than the blocks themselves.
Remind students to look for the number of grid blocks between the 
vertices of the original shape and its image.
Achievement Indicator:
5SS8.1 Describe a given 
translation by identifying the 
direction and magnitude of the 
movement.
5SS8 Identify and describe a 
single transformation, including 
a translation, rotation and 
reflection of 2-D shapes.
