A fun and engaging activity to support the teaching of translations. Our Year 6 Translations Supporting activity includes a practical task to complete in pairs. Using coordinate grids and digit cards children will take it turns to draw a shape whilst the remaining child then translates it. This resource includes clear and concise instructions along with an example, ensuring everyone knows what they are doing!


Curriculum Objectives

  • Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes
  • Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)
