KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

(8) Geometry and measurement:

 (E) decompose two-dimensional shapes such as cutting out a square from a rectangle, dividing a shape in half, or partitioning a

rectangle into identical triangles and identify the resulting geometric parts.

(9) Geometry and measurement:

 (A) find the length of objects using concrete models for standard units of length;

 (B) describe the inverse relationship between the size of the unit and the number of units needed to equal the length of an object;
TRANSFORMATION
 TRANSFORMATION Reflection (FLIP)

A transformation is a position change across

an axis.

There are 3 main transformations

Translation (SLIDE)
 Translation (SLIDE)

 Reflection (FLIP)

 Rotation (TURN)

ROTATION
 ROTATION

DEFINITION: A rotation is when an object

is turned to a certain degree.

For example, the car is turned 90’ clockwise.
