Performance
• Provide a 2-D shape (such as a triangle) on grid paper and ask 
students to translate the shape according to specific instructions;
e.g., translate three units left and two units down. Label its 
image.
(5SS7.1) 
Lesson 1: Performing Translations
TR: pp. 12-16
SB: pp.152-154
• Provide students with grid paper and ask them to draw a square. 
Students decide and record their own translation rule (e.g., translate 
the shape two units right and three units down). Students could 
create the translation described and then switch with a partner, 
comparing and discussing the two resulting transformations.
(5SS7.2)
• Using tiles on the floor as the units, ask students to translate 
themselves (as a point) two units right and four units up. Ask 
pairs of students to direct the translation of each partner. Students 
could then represent two different points and find and record the 
translation required (direction and magnitude) to move from one to 
another.
(5SS7.1, 5SS8.1))
• Ask students to form groups of six. Three students make themselves 
the vertices of a triangle. They might hold elastic, string or a 
skipping rope to create the sides of their polygon. Using floor tiles as 
the grid and units, the other three students create the image of this 
triangle translated four units left and six units down (4L, 6D).
