Shape and Space Unit 3: Transformations

In this unit, we shall investigate the effect of simple transformations to shapes. In particular, we will examine translations, reflections, rotations and enlargements.

Before you start this unit you will need to feel confident about describing the equations of straight line graphs. If you are unsure about these ideas, please refresh them first.

Unit 3.1:	Translating images.
Unit 3.2:	Reflecting images when the line is given.

Unit 3.4:	Rotating images given the rotation point, sense and angle.
Unit 3.5:	Finding the centre of rotation.
Unit 3.6:	Enlarging images.
Unit 3.7:	Finding the centre of enlargement.
