Flip, Slide or Turn Year 5 Maths

Give Year 5 students a clear, practical pathway from “flip, slide and turn” to precise geometric reasoning. This comprehensive unit develops transformation language, coordinate movement, mirror-line reasoning, angle and direction descriptions, invariant properties and rotational symmetry through explicit teaching, hands-on practice, written reasoning and assessment.

The editable presentation introduces each concept in manageable steps. Colour displays support modelling and reference, while two games provide collaborative practice. Five worksheet sets supply nine student pages of grid work, classification, sequences and explanation, each followed by matching red-answer pages.

What's Included

• 30-page Unit Plan PDF
• Editable 18-slide PowerPoint presentation
• Editable 22-slide PowerPoint quiz with 10 question-and-answer pairs
• Transformation Toolkit display
• Rotational Symmetry display
• Transformation Dominoes game
• Turning Shape Trail board and challenge cards
• Five sequenced worksheet sets
• Eleven worksheet and assessment answer pages
• Two-page Geo-Bot Transformation Mission assessment
• 25-mark rubric across five criteria

Learning Focus

• Identify and compare translations, reflections and rotations
• Translate shapes and coordinate points using horizontal and vertical movement
• Reflect figures across vertical and horizontal mirror lines
• Describe rotations using a centre, angle and direction
• Explain preserved size, shape, side lengths, angle sizes and area
• Recognise when orientation stays the same or reverses
• Determine rotational symmetry order and smallest angle
• Compose, compare and justify multi-step transformation sequences

Classroom Use

Use the presentation for explicit teaching and worked examples, then move into the Transformation Toolkit display, game-based practice and targeted worksheets. The worksheet sets support core instruction, consolidation and extension. Finish with the editable quiz or Geo-Bot assessment and rubric. The complete sequence suits approximately five lessons across one school week.

Formats and Answers

Files are supplied as PDF and editable PPTX. Eleven red-answer pages support worksheets and assessment. Displays and games are in colour; worksheets, assessment and rubric are black and white.
