Geometric Transformations Introduction

Name:

Date:

🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To identify and describe geometric transformations

Success Criteria: I can name the three types of transformations and describe what happens to shapes during each transformation.

1. Match each transformation with its correct description by drawing lines:

Translation

Reflection

Rotation

Flipping a shape over a line

Sliding a shape to a new position

Turning a shape around a point

2. Circle the transformation that has been applied to move Shape A to Shape B:

Translation (slide)

Reflection (flip)

Rotation (turn)

3. Which of these happen during ALL transformations? (Tick all that apply)

The shape stays the same size

The shape changes colour

The shape keeps its angles the same

The shape gets bigger

✏️ Describing Transformations

4. Look at the grid below. Describe how to move the triangle from position 1 to position 2:

The triangle has been _________________ by moving _____ squares to the _________ and _____ squares _________.

5. In your own words, explain what happens during a reflection:

6. Name ONE place in real life where you might see each transformation:

Translation: _________________________________

Reflection: _________________________________

Rotation: ___________________________________

🎨 Drawing Transformations

7. On the grid below, draw what the shape would look like after a 90° clockwise rotation around the marked centre point:

8. Complete this sentence: "When I perform a translation, the shape _________ but when I perform a rotation, the shape _________."

9. Challenge: Can you think of a transformation that uses TWO of the types we learned about? Describe it:
