Why this why now

This unit utilises prior knowledge with ratios and percentages, applying general multiplicative relationships to the transformation of shapes, whilst also drawing upon recently developed knowledge of the coordinate plane.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Identify and describe reflections, rotations, translations and enlargements
  • Plot points and shapes in all four quadrants
  • Use coordinates to represent movements

Transformations

This unit introduces pupils to shape tranformations: enlargements, rotations, reflections and translations both by hand and with technology.
