Lesson Worksheet: Moving on a Grid Mathematics

In this worksheet, we will practice describing translations of shapes in words by telling how many units up, down, left, or right the object moved.

Q1:

For the given grid, what point is 1 unit up and 5 units left from point D?

  • APoint F
  • BPoint B
  • CPoint A
  • DPoint C
  • EPoint E

Q2:

True or False:

The steps to move from point 𝐶 to point 𝐷 are 5 units left and 6 units down.

  • ATrue
  • BFalse

Q3:

The given points on the map represent different buildings in Hannah’s block. If Hannah is in the building at point C and wants to go to the building at point A, describe the path that she will take.

  • A2 blocks west and 2 blocks south
  • B2 blocks east and 2 blocks south
  • C1 block west and 3 blocks south
  • D2 blocks west and 2 blocks north
  • E1 block east and 1 block north

Q4:

Look at the grid.

Describe how to move from point 𝐴 to point 𝐶.

  • A4 units left and 1 unit down
  • B5 units right and 2 units down
  • C2 units left and 5 units down
  • D4 units right and 1 unit down
  • E1 unit right and 4 units down

Q5:

This is a map.

What is found 1 block west and 2 blocks south of the zoo?

  • AThe cinema
  • BThe school
  • CThe gym
  • DThe mall
  • EThe club

Describe how to go to the gym from the cinema.

  • A1 block west and 4 blocks south
  • B4 blocks east and 1 block north
  • C1 block east and 4 blocks north
  • D1 block east and 3 blocks south
  • E1 block west and 3 blocks south

Q6:

For the given grid, if point 𝐴 translated 4 units to the left then 3 units up, which of the following describes the new position of point 𝐴?

  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Q7:

True or False: Moving up, down, left, and right is called a translation.

  • ATrue
