GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: The Four Transformations - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to identify a single transformation that maps shape A onto shape B on a graph. It discusses the four types of transformations: reflection, rotation, enlargement, and translation. The tutorial concludes that the transformation is a reflection, explaining how to determine the mirror line and the importance of labeling it correctly to earn full marks.

What is the key requirement when describing the transformation from shape A to shape B?

• Using multiple transformations

• Ignoring the transformation type

• Describing the shapes in detail

• Identifying a single transformation

Which of the following is NOT one of the four transformations mentioned?

• Distortion

• Rotation

• Translation

• Reflection

Why is the transformation identified as a reflection?

• The shape is translated

• The shape is rotated

• The shape is enlarged

• The shape is flipped over

What must be included in the answer to receive full marks for identifying the transformation?

• The color of the shapes

• The size of the shapes

• The mirror line

• The type of paper used

How can the mirror line be described for full marks?

• As the line y equals 0

• As the line x equals 0

• As the x-axis

• As the y-axis
