				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lesson 1</strong></p>
<p>In this lesson, children revisit coordinates: last taught in Year 4. Children will read coordinates in brackets and know that the first number represents the x-coordinate and the second number the y-coordinate. This lesson introduces that where the x and y axes meet (0,0) on the grid is called the origin.  They will practise reading and plotting points on the coordinate grid, including points that are vertices of 2-D shapes. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lesson 2</strong></p>
<p>In this lesson, children will learn to translate shapes on a grid and to describe translations. They will also learn that it can be helpful to focus on one vertex at a time when translating more complicated shapes.  They will develop an understanding that the shape itself does not change size nor orientation when translated. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.</p>

<p>In this lesson, children will reflect objects using lines that are parallel to the axes. They will be introduced to the terms ‘object’ meaning the shape before it is reflected and ‘image’ meaning of shape after reflection.
