📐 Part 1: Identifying Transformations

1. A triangle is moved 3 units right and 2 units up. What type of transformation is this?

Translation

Reflection

Rotation

2. A shape is flipped across a mirror line. What transformation has occurred?

Translation

Reflection

Rotation

3. Which properties stay the same (invariant) during all transformations? (Check all that apply)

Size of the shape

Shape of the figure

Position on the grid

Angle measurements

4. A square is turned 90° clockwise around point P. This is called a:

Translation

Reflection

Rotation

✏️ Part 2: Describing Transformations

5. Describe a translation that moves a shape from point (2, 3) to point (5, 1).

The shape moves _______ units to the right and _______ units down.

6. For a reflection, what is the most important feature you need to identify?

7. When describing a rotation, what three pieces of information do you need?

a) _________________________________

b) _________________________________

c) _________________________________

8. Explain why the size and shape of a figure remain unchanged during transformations.

🎯 Part 3: Application & Extension

9. On grid paper, draw a triangle and show what happens when you:

• Translate it 4 units left and 3 units up

• Reflect it across the y-axis

• Rotate it 180° around the origin

10. Extension Challenge: If you perform a translation followed by a reflection, is this the same as doing the reflection first, then the translation? Explain your reasoning.

11. Real-world connection: Give two examples of where you might see transformations in everyday life.

Example 1: _________________________________

Example 2: _________________________________

12. Success Check: Circle the transformations you feel confident performing:

Translation using coordinate rules

Reflection across a mirror line

Rotation around a centre point

Using correct mathematical vocabulary
