Geometry: Moving Shapes on a Grid

In this activity, we will learn how to move a shape on a grid following instructions.

Translate this triangle 5 units to the right and 3 units down.  Move the shape corner by corner and then draw the new triangle. Each of the three points of the triangle will move 5 places right and three places down. When the points are drawn together in the new position the new orientation of the triangle will become obvious.
