Shape Transformation Movement Cards
Help the shapes travel around the coordinate grid. A translation slides a shape without turning it. A reflection flips it across a mirror line. A rotation turns it around a point. Use the coordinates and directions given in each question. On a grid, right means east and up means north.
Transformation cards
Read each card and work out where the shape or point moves. Coordinates are written (x, y).
1.Point A is at (2, 3). It slides 4 squares to the right. What are its new coordinates?
2.Point B is at (5, 4). It slides 2 squares down. What are its new coordinates?
3.A point at (2, 5) is reflected across the vertical line x = 4. It is 2 squares left of the mirror line. Where will it be after the flip?
- (6, 5)
- (2, 3)
- (4, 5)
- (6, 3)
4.A point at (1, 2) makes a half-turn (180°) around the centre (3, 2). What are its new coordinates?
5.A point at (4, 2) turns a quarter-turn anticlockwise around (2, 2). Where does it land?
- (2, 4)
- (2, 0)
- (4, 4)
- (0, 2)
6.A triangle’s vertices move from (1, 1), (3, 1), (1, 2) to (4, 1), (6, 1), (4, 2). Which transformation has happened?
- A slide 3 squares right
- A reflection across the y-axis
- A quarter-turn clockwise
- A half-turn
7.A reflection changes a shape’s position by flipping it over a mirror line, but it does not change its size. True or false?
8.A point starts at (3, 2) and finishes at (3, 6). Which movement card describes the change?
- Slide 4 squares up
- Slide 4 squares right
- Reflect across x = 3
- Turn a quarter-turn
9.Start with point C at (2, 1). Write one translation that takes C to (5, 4), then name the direction and number of squares moved on each axis.
