MATHEMATICS 5 CURRICULUM GUIDE 2015
Specific Outcomes
MOTION GEOMETRY
Suggestions for Teaching and Learning
Students will be expected to:
Shape and Space (Transformations)
Give students sets of figures and ask them to identify whether the 
transformation resulted from a translation, reflection, or rotation and 
describe the move. The reference material they have compiled in their 
foldable or Venn diagram should help with this determination.
Ask students: 
• What transformation would move figure ABCDEF to image 
A
'
B
'
C
'
D
'
E
'F'
? Describe the movement.
• What transformation would move figure FGHI to image F
'
G
'
H
'
I
'
?
Describe the movement.
Students could view 
Motion Geometry: Rotations, Reflections and 
Translations 
from Discovery Education. This short video illustrates 
how animators use transformations to create dragons and dinosaurs in 
movies.
Students could be challenged by compositions (a combination of two 
or more transformations) or observing tessellations by M.C. Escher to
determine how the transformations were effected. This is beyond the 
expectation of the outcome and would be considered enrichment or 
extension.
