Students design school library badges by creating four symmetrical patterns using 2-dimensional shapes. A display board template is included for students to put their work on.
For this task students are required to demonstrate their understanding of transformations. On three separate grids, they translate, reflect and rotate the same basic shape.
In a shape made up of triangles, students identify lines of symmetry for pairs of triangles and identify pairs of triangles which reflect through a line of symmetry.
This task requires students to indicate, in a table, the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement) of a picture of a traffic light.
