When converting from one unit to another,
kilo- always means × 1000 so 1 km = 1000 m and 1 kg = 1000 g
centi- always means
1
100
so 1 cm =
milli- always means

1000
so 1 mm =

m or 100 cm = 1 m

m
1000
or 1000 mm = 1m
Change 6 mm to centimetres.
Millimetres are smaller than centimetres, so divide by 10: 6 ÷ 10 = 0.6 cm.
Change 9 m to centimetres.
Metres are bigger than centimetres, so multiply by 100:
9 × 100 = 900 cm.
When changing from a smaller unit to a bigger unit, divide.
When changing from a bigger unit to a smaller unit, multiply.
Change each quantity to the unit given in brackets.
Show what you did to get the answer.

Congruent shapes are exactly the same shape and size.
These triangles are congruent.
These are not congruent.
Which two of these shapes are congruent?
2
To reflect a shape in a mirror line find the image of
each vertex (corner) of the shape in the mirror line.
The image of each vertex will be the same distance
from the mirror line as the original.
The shape and its image will be congruent.
Sometimes the shape being
reflected is known as the object.
Reflect the shape in the mirror
line x = 2.
(The line x = 2 joins all points
with an x coordinate of 2.)
Check your image using a mirror
placed on the line x = 2.

When you rotate a shape it helps to use tracing paper.
Trace the shape and the centre of rotation. Pin the tracing paper to the centre of rotation
using a pencil point. Turn the tracing paper round through the required angle. Mark the
position of the corners of the image on the square grid. Join the corners with a ruler and
pencil to show the new shape.
Use tracing paper to rotate the triangle
in this diagram through 90° clockwise.
Use the point (1, –2), marked, as the
centre of rotation.
4
When you translate a shape find the image of each vertex of the shape.
Use the vector to count along, then up or down to find the image.
The vector is written
along
up/down
.
A minus sign before the top number
means you move left.
A minus sign before the bottom
number means you move down.
Translate the L-shape in this diagram
⎛− 8⎞
using the vector ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ .
⎝ 6⎠
Along 8 to the
left, then up 6.

An enlargement of scale factor 3 gives an image with sides 3 times as long as the original
shape. Each vertex of the image will be 3 times as far from the centre of enlargement as
the original vertex and in the same direction.
You can do this more easily on squared paper by counting squares.
Enlarge this shape by a scale factor of 2.
Use the point P as the centre of enlargement.
Original material © Cambridge University Press 2009
Remember to go twice as far from P to the
image vertex. Count twice the distance
along and twice the distance down.

An angle measures an amount of turn. Angles can be measured using a protractor.
A bearing is an angle measured from North in a clockwise direction.
It describes the direction of one point relative to another.
Remember
North is always
up the page.
Bearings have 3 digits
so a bearing of 20° is
written as 020°.
The bearing of Q from P is x.
The bearing of P from Q is y.
For each diagram below, write down the three-figure bearing of Q from P.

In a scale drawing, the real length is either decreased or increased in a certain ratio.
A ratio of 1:200 means 1 cm as scale drawing represents 200 cm (2m) of real length.
The scale factor is 200.
To change from the scaled length to the real length you multiply by the scale factor.
To change from the real length to the scaled length you divide by the scale factor.
