A labelling worksheet on reflection and translation for Year 5 maths. Using a word bank of terms like mirror line, translated image and vertex, pupils label seven points on a coordinate grid showing an original triangle, its reflection and its translation. The answer key lists all seven labels. It covers the England National Curriculum reflection and translation objective.
Geometry - position and direction
“Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed.”
The labelling task is built around the appropriate-language part of this objective.
Eight terms including y-axis, mirror line, reflected image and original shape.
Points A to G on a coordinate grid to match with the correct terms.
The correct term for each of the seven points.
Vocabulary focus
Use it before pupils write about transformations, so the terms are secure.
Lesson starter
A quick label-the-diagram recap at the start of a position and direction lesson.
Intervention
Pupils who mix up reflection and translation can compare both on the same grid.
