| Task Name : Battleships | Task Level : F (Grade 5) | ||
| Semester : 2 | Topic : Transformations | VC Strand : Location and Transformation | |
| Web Address : http://maths.crusoecollege.vic.edu.au/ltfF | |||
| Equipment Needed : Grid template (sheet) | |||
| Victorian Curriculum outcome : Describe translations, reflections and rotations of two-dimensional shapes. Identify line and rotational symmetries | |||
| Task description : Students take three battleships designed in level E, plus 3 non-symmetrical battleships, and place them in one quadrant of the grid template. In the next quadrant, they reflect the shapes relative to their position in the original quadrant; in another, they rotate the shapes; and in the last, they translate the shapes. | |||
| Assessment options : Grid sheet filled out or digital equivalent | |||
| Teacher notes : This task needs level E to be completed first. Be aware that at this level, the grid is not a Cartesian plane, and students are not required to transform around an x or y axis. Students should assume that the ships stay in the same place in each quadrant, and then the transformations are applied to them. | |||
