Exploring the Four Transformations in Maths

Which of the following is NOT one of the four transformations discussed in the video?

• Distortion

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Translation

What does translation change about a shape?

• Its shape

• Its color

• Its position

• Its size

When describing a translation, which two details must be included?

• Line of reflection and distance

• Scale factor and center

• Horizontal and vertical movements

• Angle and direction

Which of the following is NOT needed to describe a rotation?

• Scale factor

• Angle of rotation

• Direction of rotation

• Center of rotation

What tool can help in finding the point around which a shape has been rotated?

• Compass

• Tracing paper

• Protractor

• Ruler

How can the reflection of a shape be described?

• Using the angle of rotation

• Using the center of enlargement

• Using the scale factor

• Using the equation of the line of reflection

In a reflection, each vertex of the new shape is at what distance from the mirror line compared to the original shape?

• Half the distance

• Double the distance

• Equal distance

• No specific distance

What two details are needed to describe an enlargement?

• Horizontal and vertical movements

• Scale factor and center of enlargement

• Line of reflection and distance

• Angle and direction

How can you find the center of enlargement?

• By drawing lines from corresponding vertices of the new and old shapes

• By using tracing paper

• By finding the line of reflection

• By measuring the angle of rotation
