TRANSFORMATIONS
Translation, reflection, rotation, and enlargement are all transformations.
For example:
a translation
a reflection
mirror line
shift a particular distance in a particular direction
an enlargement
a rotation about O
O
When we perform a transformation, the original shape is called the object. The shape which
results from the transformation is called the image.
OPENING PROBLEM
Consider an equilateral triangle.
Things to think about:
² Can you draw a mirror line on an equilateral
triangle? The figure must fold onto itself along
that line, so it matches exactly.
How many of these mirror lines can you draw?

² Can you find the centre of rotation of an equilateral triangle? The figure must rotate
about this point and fit exactly onto itself in less than one full turn.
How many times would an equilateral triangle fit onto itself in one full turn?
² Make a pattern using equilateral triangles so there are no gaps between the triangles
and the edges meet exactly.

CONGRUENT FIGURES
Two figures are congruent if they have exactly the same
size and shape.
We are congruent.
If one figure is cut out and it can be placed exactly on top
of the other, then these figures are congruent.
The image and the object for a translation, rotation, or
reflection are always congruent. The image and the object
for an enlargement are not congruent because they are not
the same size.

LINE SYMMETRY
A line of symmetry is a line along which a shape may be folded so that both parts of the
shape will match.
For example:
DEMO
fold line
line of symmetry
or
mirror line
If a mirror is placed along the line of symmetry, the reflection in the mirror will be exactly
the same as the half of the figure “behind” the mirror.
A shape has line symmetry if it has at least one line of symmetry.

The point about which the hands of the clock, or the spokes of the wheel rotate, is called the
centre of rotation.
The angle through which the hands or the spokes turn is called the angle of rotation.
The globe of the world rotates about a line called the axis of rotation.
During a rotation, the distance of any point from the centre of rotation does not change.
A rotation is the turning of a shape or figure about a point and through a
given angle.

ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY
A full rotation does not
mean that a shape has
rotational symmetry.
Every shape fits exactly
onto itself after a
rotation of 360o.
A shape has rotational symmetry
if it can be fitted onto itself by
turning it through an angle of less
than 360o, or one full turn.
O
The centre of rotational
symmetry is the point about
which a shape can be rotated onto
itself.
The ‘windmill’ shown will fit onto itself every time it is
turned about O through 90o. O is the centre of
rotational symmetry.
This fabric pattern also shows rotational symmetry.
DEMO
If a figure has more than one line of symmetry then it will also have rotational symmetry.
The centre of rotational symmetry will be the point where the lines of symmetry meet.

ENLARGEMENTS AND REDUCTIONS
We are all familiar with enlargements in the form of photographs or looking through a
microscope or telescope. Plans and maps are examples of reductions. The size of the image
has been reduced but the proportions are the same as the original. Most photocopiers can
perform enlargements and reductions.
The following design shows several enlargements:
In any enlargement or reduction, we multiply the lengths in the object by the scale factor
to get the lengths in the image.
Look at the figures in the grid below:

For the enlargement with scale factor 2, lengths have been doubled.
For the enlarement with scale factor 3, lengths have been trebled.
If shape B is reduced to shape A, the lengths are halved and the scale factor is 12 .
If shape D is reduced to shape A, the lengths are quartered and the scale factor is 14 .

3 Draw a grid 10 mm by 10 mm alongside the grid
already drawn.
4 Copy the dog from the smaller grid onto the larger
grid. To do this accurately, start by transferring points
where the drawing crosses the grid lines. Then join
these points and finish the picture.

ACTIVITY 6
CREATING TESSELLATIONS
What to do:
Follow these steps to create your own tessellating pattern.
Step 1: Draw a square.
Step 2: Cut a piece from one side and ‘glue’
it onto the opposite side.
Step 3: Rub out any unwanted
lines and add features.
Step 4: Photocopy this several times and cut
out each face. Combine them to
form a tessellation.
Make your own tessellation pattern and produce a full page pattern with 3 cm by 3 cm
tiles. Be creative and colourful. You could use a computer drawing package to do this
activity.

2 Look at the shapes of paving blocks.
Explain what advantage some shapes have
over others. When building walls, what are
the advantages of rectangular bricks over
square bricks?
