Lesson 1

Moving in the Plane

Let’s describe ways figures can move in the plane.

Problem 1

The six frames show a shape's different positions.

6 panels showing the same figure in different positions and orientations.

Describe how the shape moves to get from its position in each frame to the next.

Problem 2

These five frames show a shape's different positions.

Five numbered cards showing different positions of a polygon.

Describe how the shape moves to get from its position in each frame to the next.

Problem 3

Diego started with this shape.

A card with a polygon on the upper left side.

Diego moves the shape down, turns it 90 degrees clockwise, then moves the shape to the right. Draw the location of the shape after each move.
