In geometry, transformation describes modifying the position, orientation, or size of a point, line, or shape. You can transform a shape by sliding it around on a coordinate plane (translation), ...

Transformations can be combined by doing one transformation and then another. Example Reflect the shape V in the line x = 2, followed by a rotation through 180° about the point (1,0).

SUBJECTS: Maths YEARS: 5–6 Learn about three different types of transformations and about line symmetry. Ms Szalek demonstrates translation and rotation, and she encourages you to use these ...

Transformations change the size or position of shapes. Congruent shapes are identical. Scale factors calculate area and volume of similar shapes. Part of Maths Geometry and Measure ...
