Now it’s your turn…

• On your worksheet, translate every shape in by the vector attached to it.

• Use tracing paper to help you.• All the shapes should fit together to form a

word.• Draw in pencil in case you make any

mistakes.• Count carefully!

e.g.

Now it’s your turn…

• On your worksheet, reflect every shape in the corresponding mirror line.

• Use tracing paper to help you.• All the shapes should fit together to form a

word.• Draw in pencil in case you make any

mistakes.

e.g.

Now it’s your turn…

• On your worksheet, rotate every shape according to the instructions on the shape.

• Not every point is used. • Use tracing paper to help you.• All the shapes should fit together to form a word.• Draw in pencil in case you make any mistakes.• Please note – direction is not important if the

angle is 1800.

e.g.

Now it’s your turn…

• On your worksheet, enlarge every shape according to the instructions on the shape. (sf stands for scale factor)

• All the shapes should fit together to form a word.

• Draw in pencil in case you make any mistakes.

• Leave the negative scale factors until the end.
