Geometric shapes with transformation arrows

📐 Part 1: Transformation Knowledge

1. Which transformation moves a shape to a new position without changing its size or orientation?

Rotation

Translation

Reflection

Scaling

2. When you reflect a shape, what stays the same? (Check all that apply)

Size

Shape

Position

Orientation

3. A triangle is rotated 90° clockwise. What changes?

Only its position

Only its orientation

Both position and orientation

Its size and shape

4. Which transformation changes the size of a shape?

Translation

Rotation

Reflection

Scaling

🔄 Part 2: Transformation Sequences

5. A square starts at position (2,3). It is translated 4 units right and 2 units up. What is its new position?

New position: ( _____ , _____ )

6. Describe what happens to a rectangle when it undergoes these transformations in order:

Step 1: Translate 3 units left

Step 2: Rotate 180°

Step 3: Reflect over a vertical line

7. A triangle is scaled by a factor of 2, then translated 5 units down. If the original triangle had an area of 6 square units, what is the area after scaling? (Before translation)

New area: _________ square units

8. Complete this transformation sequence:

Original shape → Translation → _____________ → Reflection → Final shape

The missing transformation that would turn the shape upside down is: _____________

🎯 Part 3: Problem Solving

9. Design your own transformation challenge! Write instructions for 3 transformations that would move a shape from Point A to Point B.

10. Explain why the order of transformations matters. Give an example using translation and rotation.

11. Draw and label what happens to this coordinate: (3,2) after each transformation:

a) Translate 2 units left: ( _____ , _____ )

b) Then rotate 90° clockwise around origin: ( _____ , _____ )

c) Then reflect over the x-axis: ( _____ , _____ )
