1. Identify the five types of patterns: Translation, Rotation, Reflection, Glide Reflection, and Dilation.
2. For each type, draw a simple geometric shape (like a square or triangle) in the first box.
3. In the second box, apply the pattern transformation to the shape:
- Translation: Slide the shape without rotating or flipping it.
- Rotation: Turn the shape around a point.
- Reflection: Flip the shape over a line.
- Glide Reflection: Slide and then flip the shape.
- Dilation: Enlarge or shrink the shape proportionally.
4. Label each pair of boxes with the correct pattern type name.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all five pattern types using different shapes or orientations to show variety.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of pattern worksheet high.
