From the author
This Grade 5 transformations review and test practices translations, rotations and reflections on grids. The three-page review has eight questions, including a blank vocabulary checklist; the three-page test has five questions. Separate three-page answer keys accompany both. Use the review independently, with a partner or as a class before selecting test questions.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Translate, rotate about a given point, and reflect a figure over a given line, drawing the resulting image on a coordinate grid.
Plot ordered pairs on a Cartesian plane and record the coordinates of a point after a sequence of transformations.
Describe a transformation in writing using required vocabulary — the transformation type plus distance/units and direction, point of rotation, or line of reflection.
Teaching tips
Use the review before the test to practice precise descriptions.
Check drawn figures for location, labeling and congruence.
Use the supplied keys to compare acceptable responses.
Skills covered
Coordinate-plane translation — students move figures a stated number of units in stated directions, e.g. "Translate 3 units down, then 5 units right."
Transformation vocabulary — students write descriptions that include the required elements (distance/units/direction for translations, point/direction for rotations, figure/line for reflections).
Multi-step transformation sequencing — students trace a shape through translate-rotate-reflect chains from position A through D and name each step.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the review prepare students for the test?
The review practices the same transformation skills and includes vocabulary checklists. The test asks students to apply those skills without the checklists.
