Grade 5 Geometry Worksheet - Translation of Shapes in the Coordinate Plane

Oct 12, 2026

This educational worksheet provides Grade 5 students with practical exercises on translating geometric shapes within a Cartesian coordinate plane. The document includes specific problems requiring students to shift a quadrilateral and a pentagon by defined units, as well as tasks to identify vertex coordinates for a square and determine its new position following translation. Designed as a learning assessment, it combines theoretical instructions with visual graphing tasks to reinforce understanding of coordinate geometry and spatial transformations.

FAQs

How do you translate a shape on a coordinate plane?

To translate a shape, you shift each of its vertices by the specified number of units horizontally or vertically as requested in the problem.

What are the new coordinates of square CORN after a translation of 3 units right and 4 units down?

Given the original vertices C(-1,1), O(2,1), R(2,-2), and N(-1,-2), the translated coordinates would be C'(2,-3), O'(5,-3), R'(5,-6), and N'(2,-6).

What is the missing vertex N of square CORN if C(-1,1), O(2,1), and R(2,-2) are known?

Since it is a square and the sides align with the axes, vertex N must complete the shape at coordinates (-1,-2).
