Flip, Slide, Turn: Shape Transformations
Year 4 Mathematics Exploring how shapes move and change Using te reo Māori vocabulary
What Are Shape Transformations?
Shapes can move in different ways We use special words to describe these movements Today we'll learn about flip, slide, and turn These have fancy mathematical names too!
Meet the Three Transformations
FLIP (Reflect) - Whakarereke Turn a shape over like a pancake SLIDE (Translate) - Nuku Move a shape without turning it TURN (Rotate) - Hurihuri Spin a shape around a point
Let's Practice: Flip
Use your shape cutouts Place a triangle next to your ruler Flip it over the ruler line What happened to the triangle? Try with different shapes!
Let's Practice: Slide
Keep your shape flat on the desk Push it across without turning The shape stays exactly the same Only its position changes Try sliding in different directions!
Let's Practice: Turn
Place your finger in the center of a square Turn it slowly around your finger Try a quarter turn (90°) Try a half turn (180°) What do you notice?
Transformations in Real Life
Door opening = FLIP Book pages turning = FLIP Elevator moving up = SLIDE Sliding a chair = SLIDE Skateboard sliding = SLIDE Bicycle wheel spinning = TURN Doorknob turning = TURN Spinning a top = TURN Can you think of more examples?
Quiz Time!
Question 1: What do we call it when we turn a shape around a point? a) Flip b) Slide c) Turn Think about it...
Quiz Continues!
Question 2 If you move a shape without turning it, what is this called? Question 3 True or False - A flip creates a mirror image Question 4 What's the te reo Māori word for turn? Question 5 Which transformation keeps the shape in the same orientation?
What We Learned Today
FLIP (Reflect/Whakarereke) - turns shapes over a line SLIDE (Translate/Nuku) - moves shapes without changing them TURN (Rotate/Hurihuri) - spins shapes around a point We can see these transformations everywhere! You're now transformation experts!
