# Sliding Shapes

Learning video 63 · Geometry · Grade 4 · 0:31

## Read the story

When we slide a shape, it moves without turning.

Every corner moves the same distance: here, 5 squares to the right.

The shape stays the same size and looks exactly the same.

**A corner in column 3 slides 6 squares to the right. Which column is it in?**

## Answer and working

Correct! 3 plus 6. It's in column 9.

`3 + 6 = 9`
