Lesson details
Key learning points
- Coordinates are recorded in brackets with the numbers separated by a comma.
- Count along the x-axis and then the y-axis to find the coordinates for the marked point.
- The shape made with the new points after translation should be exactly the same shape and size as the original shape.
Keywords
Translate / translation - Sliding or moving a shape without rotating or flipping it means to translate.
Common misconception
Pupils might write the y-coordinate (vertical distance) first instead of the x-coordinate (horizontal distance).
Reinforce the correct order by teaching "x comes before y" just like in the alphabet. Practice with examples and devices like "along the x-axis, then up the y-axis" to solidify this concept.
