This is level 7: describe the transformation from the diagrams. You can earn a trophy if you get at least 9 questions correct and you do this activity online.

1. Shape B can be transformed to shape C with a reflection. What is the equation of the line of reflection?

Correct Wrong


2. Shape F can be transformed to shape C with a reflection. What is the equation of the line of reflection?

Correct Wrong


3. Shape F can be transformed to shape E with a reflection. What is the equation of the line of reflection?

Correct Wrong


4. Shape F can be transformed to shape A with a reflection. What is the equation of the line of reflection?

Correct Wrong


5. Shape E can be transformed to shape G with a rotation of 90° clockwise. What are the coordinates of the centre of rotation?

Correct Wrong


6. Shape A is rotated 180° about the point (8,5). Over which shape will it now be?

Correct Wrong


7. By how many degrees must shape H be rotated around the point (8,5) in a clockwise direction to fit over shape F?

Correct Wrong


8. Shape A is translated by the vector \( \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -2 \\ \end{pmatrix} \) then rotated 90° clockwise about the point (9,4). Over which shape will it now be?

Correct Wrong


9. Shape F is translated by the vector \( \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 0 \\ \end{pmatrix} \) then rotated 180° clockwise to fit over shape B. What are the coordinates of the centre of rotation?

Correct Wrong


10. Shape B is translated by the vector \( \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ -4 \\ \end{pmatrix} \) then reflected to fit over shape E. What is the equation of the line of reflection?

Correct Wrong


11. Shape A is reflected in the line x = 7. It can then be transformed to shape F with a rotation of 90° anticlockwise. What are the coordinates of the centre of rotation?

Correct Wrong


12. Shape H is enlarged with centre of enlargement (8,5) to fit over shape D. What is the scale factor of this enlargement?

Correct Wrong

Instructions

Try your best to answer the questions above. Type your answers into the boxes provided leaving no spaces. As you work through the exercise regularly click the "check" button. If you have any wrong answers, do your best to do corrections but if there is anything you don't understand, please ask your teacher for help.

When you have got all of the questions correct you may want to print out this page and paste it into your exercise book. If you keep your work in an ePortfolio you could take a screen shot of your answers and paste that into your Maths file.

Why am I learning this?

Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

Comment recorded on the 19 October 'Starter of the Day' page by E Pollard, Huddersfield:

"I used this with my bottom set in year 9. To engage them I used their name and favorite football team (or pop group) instead of the school name. For homework, I asked each student to find a definition for the key words they had been given (once they had fun trying to guess the answer) and they presented their findings to the rest of the class the following day. They felt really special because the key words came from their own personal information."

Comment recorded on the 3 October 'Starter of the Day' page by Fiona Bray, Cams Hill School:

"This is an excellent website. We all often use the starters as the pupils come in the door and get settled as we take the register."

Each month a newsletter is published containing details of the new additions to the Transum website and a new puzzle of the month.

The newsletter is then duplicated as a podcast which is available on the major delivery networks. You can listen to the podcast while you are commuting, exercising or relaxing.

Transum breaking news is available on Twitter @Transum and if that's not enough there is also a Transum Facebook page.

Go Maths

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school.

Finally try Blow Up, a clallenge to find all the points that could be the centre of enlargement of a shape if the image does not go off the grid. Great fun!
