Lesson details
Key learning points
- A shape can be transformed more than once.
- The first transformation is performed on the object.
- The second transformation is performed on the image.
- The third transformation is performed on the new image etc.
Keywords
Object - The object is the starting figure before a transformation has been applied.
Image - The image is the resulting figure after a transformation has been applied.
Vector - A vector can be used to describe a translation.
Polygon - A polygon is a flat (2D), closed figure made up of straight line segments.
Common misconception
The number of spaces to translate a shape can be worked out by counting the squares on the grid.
If there are axes, then it is important to check the scales. The length of one square does not always represent one unit.

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.
