Grade 6 Transformations Review and Test

Translate, rotate, and reflect a figure on grid paper or a coordinate plane according to given instructions.

Describe a translation, rotation, or reflection in words, including the required distance/angle, direction, and point or line of reference.

Apply a sequence of transformations to the same figure and track its final position and coordinates.

Share the checklist on the first review page. For a rotation, use angle or amount of turn instead of the key’s word distance, together with direction and center of rotation.

Assign the review's section-by-section practice (translate, then rotate, then reflect) before the test, which mixes all three transformation types together in cumulative, multi-step questions.

Use the trapezoid multi-step question (test, question 5) as a class discussion piece, since it asks students to reconstruct three chained transformations rather than perform a single one.

Performing transformations — students translate, rotate, and reflect figures on grid paper according to given distances, angles, and points of reference.

Describing transformations in words — students name the transformation type and its required elements (distance or angle, direction, center, or mirror line) to describe a shown transformation.

Coordinate tracking through multi-step transformations — students apply a translation, rotation, and reflection in sequence to the same figure and record the final coordinates of a labeled point.
