5.2: Transformation geometry

#5.2A

understand that rotations are specified by a centre and an angle

#5.2B

rotate a shape about a point through a given angle

#5.2C

recognise that an anti-clockwise rotation is a positive angle of rotation and a clockwise rotation is a negative angle of rotation

#5.2D

understand that reflections are specified by a mirror line

Such as x=1x = 1, y=2y = 2, y=xy = x, yx=0y - x = 0

#5.2E

construct a mirror line given an object and reflect a shape given a mirror line

e.g. reflect a triangle in the line y=xy = x

#5.2F

understand that translations are specified by a distance and direction

#5.2G

translate a shape

#5.2H

understand and use column vectors in translations

#5.2I

understand that rotations, reflections and translations preserve length and angle so that a transformed shape under any of these transformations remains congruent to the original shape

#5.2J

understand that enlargements are specified by a centre and a scale factor

Positive scale factor only (including fractions)

#5.2K

understand that enlargements preserve angles and not lengths

#5.2L

enlarge a shape given the scale factor

With or without a centre given

#5.2M

identify and give complete descriptions of transformations
