Problem solving with further transformations

I can use my enhanced knowledge of transformations to solve problems.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. By understanding what changes and what is invariant, you can determine whether a transformation has occurred.
  2. Sometimes you might need to persevere in order to find the right transformation(s).
  3. You may be able to check your deductions by carrying out the transformation.

Common misconception

There is only one way to describe what has happened to an object to create its image.

There may be multiple transformations or combinations of transformations that map the object to the image.

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.

  • Sense - The sense of an object is the direction of the orientation of the object. When the sense of an object changes, the direction of its orientation changes from clockwise to anti-clockwise, or vice versa.
