Shape Transformations Worksheet
📐 Part 1: Identifying Transformations
1. Which transformation has been applied to this triangle?
Nekeneke (Translation/Slide)
Mārō (Reflection/Flip)
Huri (Rotation/Turn)
2. A shape moves 3 squares to the right and 2 squares up. This is called:
Huri (Rotation)
Nekeneke (Translation)
Mārō (Reflection)
3. When a shape is flipped over a mirror line, which properties stay the same? (Tick all that apply)
Size of angles
Length of sides
Position
Shape
4. A square is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. How many right angles has it turned?
1 right angle
2 right angles
4 right angles
✏️ Part 2: Describing Transformations
5. Draw a shape and show what happens when you apply a mārō (reflection). Draw the mirror line.
6. Describe in te reo Māori what happens when you perform a huri (rotation) on a triangle:
Ko te huringa i konei he ________________. Kua hurihia te ahua i te koki ________________.
7. Explain the difference between nekeneke (translation) and huri (rotation):
8. Look at kōwhaiwhai patterns. Name two types of transformations you might see:
1. ________________
2. ________________
🎨 Part 3: Pattern Recognition
9. Create your own pattern using at least two different transformations. Draw it below and label which transformations you used:
Transformations used: ________________ and ________________
10. Extension Challenge: Describe what would happen if you first reflected a shape, then rotated it 180 degrees:
11. Find the coordinates after transformation: If a point starts at (2,3) and moves 4 units left and 1 unit down, the new coordinates are:
New coordinates: ( ____ , ____ )
