Topic: Shape Transformations

Topic/Skill Definition/Tips Example


1. Translation Translate means to move a shape.
The shape does not change size or
orientation.

2. Column In a column vector, the top number moves 2


( ) means ‘2 right, 3 up’
Vector left (-) or right (+) and the bottom number 3
moves up (+) or down (-)
−1
( ) means ‘1 left, 5 down’
−5
3. Rotation The size does not change, but the shape is Rotate Shape A 90° anti-clockwise
turned around a point. about (0,1)

Use tracing paper.

4. Reflection The size does not change, but the shape is Reflect shape C in the line 𝑦 = 𝑥
‘flipped’ like in a mirror.

Line 𝒙 =? is a vertical line.


Line 𝒚 =? is a horizontal line.
Line 𝒚 = 𝒙 is a diagonal line.

5. Enlargement The shape will get bigger or smaller. Scale Factor = 3 means ‘3 times larger
Multiply each side by the scale factor. = multiply by 3’

Scale Factor = ½ means ‘half the size =


divide by 2’
6. Finding the Draw straight lines through
Centre of corresponding corners of the two shapes.
Enlargement The centre of enlargement is the point
where all the lines cross over.

Be careful with negative enlargements as


the corresponding corners will be the other
way around.

7. Describing Give the following information when - Translation, Vector


Transformatio describing each transformation: - Rotation, Direction, Angle, Centre
ns - Reflection, Equation of mirror line
Look at the number of marks in the - Enlargement, Scale factor, Centre
question for a hint of how many pieces of of enlargement
information are needed.

If you are asked to describe a


‘transformation’, you need to say the name
of the type of transformation as well as
the other details.
8. Negative Negative enlargements will look like they Enlarge ABC by scale factor -2, centre
Scale Factor have been rotated. (1,1)
Enlargements
𝑆𝐹 = −2 will be rotated, and also twice as
big.

9. Invariance A point, line or shape is invariant if it does If shape P is reflected in the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠,
not change/move when a transformation is then exactly one vertex is invariant.
performed.

An invariant point ‘does not vary’.
