Official content description
recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
Teach AC9M6SP03 this week?
TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9M6SP03 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

What Year 6 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 6 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They solve problems using the properties of prime, composite and square numbers.
- Students locate an ordered pair in any one of the 4 quadrants on the Cartesian plane.
- They use all 4 operations with decimals and connect decimal representations of measurements to the metric system.
- Students conduct simulations using digital tools, to generate and record the outcomes from many trials of a chance experiment.
- They create tessellating patterns using combinations of transformations.
- Students critique arguments presented in the media based on statistics.
The Space progression either side of AC9M6SP03
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
Taught before · Year 5
- AC9M5SP01connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning
- AC9M5SP02construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement
- AC9M5SP03describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
Builds towards · Year 7
- AC9M7SP01represent objects in 2 dimensions; discuss and reason about the advantages and disadvantages of different representations
- AC9M7SP02classify triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons according to their side and angle properties; identify and reason about relationships
- AC9M7SP03describe transformations of a set of points using coordinates in the Cartesian plane, translations and reflections on an axis, and rotations about a given point
