describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• understanding and explaining that translations, rotations and reflections can change the position and orientation of a shape but not the shape or size
• using pattern blocks and paper tracing around a shape and conducting a series of a one-step transformations; continuing to trace each resulting image, then copying the original position and end position on a new sheet of paper
• demonstrating how different combinations of transformations can produce the same resulting image
