Support (from Y7 teaching programme)
• Recognise and visualise the transformation and symmetry of a 2-D shape (a) reflection in given mirror lines, and line symmetry (b) rotation about a given point, and rotation symmetry (c) translation; explore these transformations and symmetries using ICT. |
Core (from Y8 teaching programme)
• Know that if two 2-D shapes are congruent, corresponding sides and angles are equal
• Transform 2-D shapes by simple combinations of rotations, reflections and translations, on paper and using ICT; identify all the symmetries of 2-D shapes.
• Understand and use the language and notation associated with enlargement; enlarge 2-D shapes, given a centre of enlargement and a positive whole-number scale factor ; explore enlargement using ICT.
• Use the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages to compare proportions |
Proof in Elementary Geometry
~ Extend technique of transformations for other proofs – e.g.
~ Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal
~ Diagonals of a parallelogram always bisect each other
~ Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
~ The area of each triangle is half the area of the whole parallelogram
~ Areas of parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallels are equal.

~ Using coordinates to identify a 2D shape, reflect the shape twice, in two lines of symmetry; then rotate the original shape, so that the image falls onto the reflected shape. What connections can you find?
