Unit Summary
In this unit pupils apply their knowledge of transformations to explore negative enlargement factors and the application of multiple transformations.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to carry out multiple transformations on a shape.
Key Notes
- A shape can be transformed more than once.
- The first transformation is performed on the object.
- The second transformation is performed on the image.
- The third transformation is performed on the new image etc.
Vocabulary To Learn
- Object: The object is the starting figure before a transformation has been applied.
- Image: The image is the resulting figure after a transformation has been applied.
- Vector: A vector can be used to describe a translation.
- Polygon: A polygon is a flat (2D), closed figure made up of straight line segments.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- The number of spaces to translate a shape can be worked out by counting the squares on the grid.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.
A shape can be transformed more than once. The first transformation is performed on the object.
2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Object'
The object is the starting figure before a transformation has been applied. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.
Mistake: The number of spaces to translate a shape can be worked out by counting the squares on the grid. Correction: If there are axes, then it is important to check the scales. The length of one square does not always represent one unit.
