1 Transformations
Reflection
Translation
Enlargement
Rotation
2 Translation
Translation: just moving the shape, no
change in size or rotation.
You can always split
a translation into a
horizontal move and
a vertical move
3 A 'column vector' tells
you how far along and
how far up
Means move

along 3 and then
up 5
4 B What
transformation
moves A to B?
What
transformation
A
moves B back to
A?
5 Reflection The mirror is represented by
a line, and the reflected
image is the same distance
away on the other side of
the mirror.
See how the red part of
the shape is directly
opposite the red part in
the image?
6 Draw a mirror line
so that A is
reflected into B
A B
7 Rotation
A rotation has a centre, an angle and a
direction (clockwise or anticlockwise)
Rotation 180 degrees This rotation is through
about the cross. Can 90 degrees clockwise.
be CW or ACW

B
Describe the
transformation from A to
B fully
9 Enlargement
Enlargement from a point is
like projecting an image.
The larger triangle is twice as
far from the centre of
enlargement than the small
triangle, so each length is
doubled.
Simple enlargement
means you just multiply
each dimension by the
scale factor
