Transformation resources

Students calculate increases in length, area, and volume, and relate this to the scale factor for an enlargement.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving rotation.

In this practical task, students cut out shapes from a folded piece of paper to recreate a pattern of symmetrical shapes.

Students enlarge a shape on a grid and explore the relationship between scale factor and area.

This task requires students to draw in what the pattern on a bicycle wheel would look like after it has made clockwise and anticlockwise turns.

Students draw reflections of an object with a mirror line.

Students identify which transformations could have been used one shape onto another.

From two different street sign pictures and their enlargements, students are to identify the scale factor of each enlargement and either a missing length or the missing factor when enlarging the area.

Students enlarge shapes by specified increases in each dimension.

Students continue tessellating patterns which all use the same base shape.

Students use their knowledge of transformation to complete an enlargement of a bird by a scale factor of two.

Students use a template to complete three rotations of a bird in the cage. The same template is used to draw the reflection of the bird using the mirror line shown on the cage.

Student identify the direction and amount of rotation a shape has undergone.

Students draw shapes to continue tessellation patterns.

Students design school library badges by creating four symmetrical patterns using 2-dimensional shapes. A display board template is included for students to put their work on.

Students draw in the reflected images of two sketches along a given mirror line.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving translation, reflection and rotation.

Students use given shapes to cover grids in tessellating patterns.

Students work out area, length and angles of a shape after enlargement.

From diagrams of four original and enlarged drawings to be used for Christmas wrapping paper, students identify the scale factor used and find a missing length on either the enlarged picture or the original picture.

Students identify what a sheet of paper will look like when it is folded and has shapes cut from it.

Students identify what a shape plus its image will look like when reflected in a given mirror line.

Students enlarge shapes by whole number scale factors.

Students specify the smallest angle of rotation so a shape remains the same.

Students enlarge a shape made of cubes and explore the relationship between the scale factor and volume.
