Slide the shape to see a Translation in action! The shape keeps its size and orientation.
What you'll learn
Core 11+ exam skills
Translation
Slide shapes across a grid using horizontal and vertical vectors.
Reflection
Flip shapes over a mirror line, maintaining distance from the axis.
Rotation
Turn shapes around a center point clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Enlargement
Rescale shapes from a center point using specific scale factors.
Core Framework
The mechanics of Transformations
Translation
Sliding a shape without rotating or resizing using vectors.
Reflection
Flipping a shape across a precise mirror line.
Rotation
Turning a shape a certain degree around a center point.
Enlargement
Making a shape larger/smaller using a scale factor.
Key Facts to Remember
💡
Translation vectors are written as a column (top x, bottom y).
🔄
Translations, Reflections, and Rotations preserve the shape's exact size.
➕
Enlargement with a scale factor > 1 makes it bigger; < 1 makes it smaller.
➖
Always state the center of rotation when describing it.
