Transformations
By Ginny Ruadh (P7)
Transformations
Transformations = same shape, same size and same measurements
BUT
different position.
1. REFLECTION
Mirror line = FLIP
Object vs image
Object
Image
Object
Image
The reflection of a point is the same distance from the mirror line, measured at 90% (right angels) to the line.
Your image can be double checked by folding your paper along the mirror line.
The mirror line can be vertical, horizontal of diagonal.
*Its the same as flip horizontal on Powerpoint if mirror line is horizontal

2. TRANSLATION
Translation = Sliding a shape around.
Slide = up/down + left/right
(NOT turning or flipping!)

On squared paper - mark each new corner point by working out their new positions.
Then join corners together
3. ROTATION
Anti clockwise
Rotation = TURN
Turn = moving around a point (centre of rotation)
Move = clcokwise / anti clockwise
Amount of turn = degrees/fraction (90 degrees or )
Object
Clockwise
Rotated 90 clockwise
Every point
makes a circle
around the center.
3. ROTATION
Clockwise
Anti clockwise
Object
Rotated 90 clockwise
3. ROTATION
Clockwise
Anti clockwise
Object
Rotated 90 clockwise
Trace the object, the centre (+) and the pointer (90 / of a rotation)
Place a pencil on the centre (pinning both pages together) and rotate the tracing paper 90 clockwise
Mark the corners of the image (Leaving pressure points on original page beneath the tracing paper)
Remove the tracing paper and join the corners.
