Achievement objective GM6-9

In a range of meaningful contexts, students will be engaged in thinking mathematically and statistically. They will solve problems and model situations that require them to:

  • analyse symmetrical patterns by the transformations used to create them.

Indicators

  • Describes transformations used to create patterns using key features such as centres and angles of rotation, centres of enlargement, scale factors, lines of symmetry, and vectors.
  • Knows and applies variant and invariant properties of transformations.
  • Makes links with transformations GM6-8.
  • See key mathematical ideas on NZmaths.

Progression

GM6-9 links to M7-2.

Possible context elaborations

  • Analysis of transformations used in Kowhaiwhai patterns.
  • Analysis of transformations used in frieze designs.
  • Analysis of transformations used in tessellations.
  • Analysis of transformations used in Escher art.
  • Analysis of transformations used in Islamic patterns and art.
  • Use of a software package to design a logo that uses transformations in its creation.
  • Activity: Straight line pictures
  • Frieze patterns
