Unit 10 Rotations and Translation KO

This document outlines the key concepts of rotation and translation in geometry for Year 9 students. It explains how to identify rotational symmetry, perform rotations about points both on and off shapes, and translate shapes using vector notation. Additionally, it compares rotations with reflections, providing essential keywords and methods for understanding these transformations.

Year 9 – reasoning with geometry…

@whisto_maths Rotation & Translation


What do I need to be able Keywords
to do? Rotate: a rotation is a circular movement.
By the end of this unit you should be able to: Symmetry: when two or more parts are identical after a transformation.
• Identify the order of rotational symmetry
Regular: a regular shape has angles and sides of equal lengths.
• Rotate a shape about a point on the
shape Invariant: a point that does not move after a transformation.
• Rotate a shape about a point not on a Vertex: a point two edges meet.
shape Horizontal: from side to side
• Translate by a given vector Vertical: from up to down
• Compare rotations and reflections

Rotational Symmetry Tracing paper helps check


rotational symmetry.
Translation and vector notation
How far left or right to move
1. Trace your shape (mark Negative value (left)
the centre point) Vector Positive value (right)
Notation
2. Rotate your tracing How far up or down to move
paper on top of the Negative value (down)
original through 360º Positive value (up)
Translation
−3
3. Count the times it fits 3
back into itself

A regular pentagon has rotational symmetry of order 5

Rotate from a point (in a shape) Every vertex has been translated
by the same amount
Original 1. Trace the original shape
shape (mark the point of rotation)
Original
2. Keep the point in the same shape
place and turn the tracing
paper
3. Draw the new shape
Compare rotations and reflections
Point of
rotation Reflections are a mirror image
of the original shape.
Image: 90º
clockwise Clockwise Anti-Clockwise Information needed to perform a
reflection:
- Line of reflection (Mirror line)
Rotate from a point (outside a shape)
Image: 90º anti - clockwise

Point of 1. Trace the original shape Rotations are the movement of a shape in a
rotation (mark the point of rotation) circular motion
2. Keep the point in the same
place and turn the tracing Information needed to perform a rotation:
paper - Point of rotation
- Direction of rotation
3. Draw the new shape
- Degrees of rotation
