Shape and Geometrical Reasoning

1.0 Objectives:
1. Different orientations of 2D shapes

1.1 Reflection
Exercise 1(Group discussion 1)
Exercise 2 (Task 1)
 Exercise 3 (Group Discussion3)

The object and mirror line are given.

Complete the task by drawing the image.

Question 1: This is a triangle. There are three

vertices/ points.

Thus, we must reflect one-by-

one of the points to get the image.
For reflection, we must count the

distance from the

mirror line. As shown by the
green line, we have distance = 5 from
the mirror line to the left object, so we
have to count another 5 to right
object.

For reflection, object and image is

oppositely and
located

flipped.

Question 2:
Detect the mistakes made in the diagram.

 1.2.2 Rotation above a point

You could draw the line to help you get the image correctly.
 Exercise 9 (Group Discussion 6)

In each of the following questions, copy the grid and the object.
a) Rotate the object by the angle and direction stated about the centre of the rotation O.
b) Label your image in each case P.
This is the triangular shape with three vertices /
points.

To rotate the shape 1800, we must rotate each point

one by one.

For example, rotate the first point by drawing dash

straight line (in green and yellow color). Thus, we
know that the rotated point would be located along
the yellow line.

Then, calculate the horizontal (left/right) distance

p and the vertical distance (up down) from the centre
of rotation. Here, as shown by the green line, we
count the distance from the centre (red point)

R4U2.
As shown by the yellow line, when tracing for the

rotational point, we move the point by L4D2.

Rotation 900 clockwise, we must know where the

Rotate clockwise
rotated image would locate. Here, we can draw
green and yellow line to confirm our 900 clockwise
p move. The rotated point should be along the
yellow line. To allocate the position, we count the
distance from the centre of rotation O, which is

L4U1. Thus, we conclude the move to

R1U4.
