Lesson
Are you ready?
Let's review transformations of shapes to help us in this lesson.
Examples
Example 1
Choose the picture that shows a turn.
A
B
C
Worked Solution
Idea summary
Translations, reflections and rotations change the position or orientation of the shape, but the shape itself stays the same.
Multiple transformations
Let's look at what happens when shapes undergo a combination of translations, reflections, or rotations.
Examples
Example 2
What two transformations would be needed to get from Flag A to Flag B?
A
Rotation and translation
B
Two translations
C
Two reflections
D
Reflection and translation
Worked Solution
Idea summary
A shape or object many be transformed more than once. Think about whether the position or orientation of the shape has changed to help work out whether it has been translated, reflected, rotated, or enlarged.
