Rotation, Reflection and Translation



 We are learning about rotation, reflection and translation.

Rotation is when something is spinning around one spot, like a fidget spinner, a fan and a clock.

Reflection is when something reflects back like in a mirror or in the water.

Translation is when you move a shape to another place but it stays the same otherwise.


We made Māori patterns because it's Māori Language Week this week.

First, we traced around shapes or drew our own ones.

Then we cut them out and made copies of them.

After that, we stuck them on paper after we had rotated, reflected or translated them.

It was fun and the end products are great!
