One point as reference for the prescribed angle andĭistance, distorting the other sections of transformed object in the process. When using this method students often use only To use this method, students require a thorough Translations are best explained as the object being moved left or right and up or Students will find it difficult to understand coordinate direction at this stage and may misinterpret Translation using horizontal and vertical directions The direction of movement, depending on the The shape, in its current orientation, to a new

This transformation is achieved by sliding When a shape is moved the same distance and in the same direction this is known as translation. Support students with a visual aid such as a plane mirror to show where the reflected object is However, they often have difficulty reflecting an object when the mirror line is at anĪngle. Students are often able to reflect objects when the mirror line is vertical or horizontal. Line is drawn from the two points (the original point and the reflected point) this line will be The mirror line and its reflection is foundĪt A, which is the same distance (5cm), but on the opposite side of the mirror line. Is compared to its corresponding point on Mirror line, the reflected shape is flipped over the mirror line. Reflection is the transformation of a shape across a Shape always maintaining its original outline. Students learn to transform shapes through reflection, translation and rotation, with the transformed
