Grade 2 Mathematics Tutorial Module
Week 2: Measurement and Geometry
Topic: One-Direction Multi-Step Slide (Translation)
Duration: 1 Hour
For Volunteer Teachers
Learning Competency
Describe and draw the effect of a one-direction multi-step slide (or translation) in basic
shapes and figures.
Learning Objectives
Identify a slide or translation.
Describe how a shape moves in one direction.
Draw the new position of a shape after a slide.
Complete simple translation activities.
Key Concept
A slide or translation happens when a shape moves from one place to another without
turning, flipping, or changing its size. A multi-step slide means the shape moves several
spaces in the same direction.
Examples
□ Move 3 steps to the right.
△ Move 2 steps down.
○ Move 4 steps to the left.
Teacher Guide (60 Minutes)
Time Activity
10 min Warm-up: Identify shapes (square, triangle,
circle).
10 min Introduce slides/translation using
drawings on the board.
15 min Show examples of shapes moving right, left,
up, and down.
10 min Guided practice: Learners draw translated
shapes.
10 min Independent worksheet.
5 min Checking and discussion.
Guided Practice
Draw the shape after it slides.
1. □ slides 2 steps to the right.
2. △ slides 3 steps down.
3. ○ slides 4 steps to the left.
Student Worksheet
A. Circle the correct answer.
1. A slide moves a shape without turning it. Yes / No
2. A translation changes the size of a shape. Yes / No
B. Draw the new position of the shape.
1. □ → move 3 steps right
2. △ ↓ move 2 steps down
3. ○ ← move 4 steps left
C. Write the direction.
1. Shape moves → __________
2. Shape moves ↓ __________
3. Shape moves ← __________
D. Reflection
