Learning Objective:

Transform shapes by a combination of translation, reflection and rotation

Translate the shapes by the corresponding vector to form a letter. Which letter is it?

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.

Rotate each shape as described in the diagram.What letter do you get?

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.

What letter would you get if you reflected each shape in its corresponding mirror line?

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.
