Levels Covered in this Assessment:
Represent Transformations
S 15c.3 Recognises repetitions of the same shape within arrangements and patterns and uses
repetitions of figures and objects systematically to produce arrangements and patterns.
S 15c.4 Recognises rotations, reflections and translations in arrangements and patterns, and
translates, rotates and reflects figures and objects systematically to produce arrangements
and patterns.
S 15c.5 Visualises and sketches the effect of straightforward translations, reflections, rotations and
enlargements of figures and objects using suitable grids.

S 15c.3
