Reflecting a kite
This involves reflecting a kite through a line of reflection or mirror line and giving the co-ordinates of each of the vertices.
Transformations are ways in which shapes can be changed. In the main, we use enlargements, rotations, reflections and translations in GCSE although skew can play a part in the overall subject area.
Often the questions will ask for you to describe the single transformation that maps A to B. You will need to give the necessary information which includes the name of the transformation and then it varies.
Translation through the vector and then you give the change in x (either left or right) at the top of the vector. You will need to give the change in y (up or down)at the bottom of the vector.
Rotation clockwise or counter-clockwise through n degrees about the centre of rotation (x,y). You will need to obviously substitute n, x and y for the necessary values.
Reflection through y=... or x=... where you will need to give the equation of the line through which the original image is reflected. These tend to be x= a number, y= a number or y=x (if the mirror line runs diagonally from bottom left to top right) r y=-x if the mirror line runs diagonally from top left to bottom right
Enlargement by scale factor n from the centre of enlargement (x,y). The scale factor, n, is important here as it can be negative (if the image appears on the other side of the centre of enlargement) or fractional if the image is smaller than the original picture. They can, of course, be a combination of the pair of these. The centre of enlargement is the co-ordinates through which all the construction lines flow when enlarging a shape.
This involves reflecting a kite through a line of reflection or mirror line and giving the co-ordinates of each of the vertices.
This involves reflecting a kite through a line of reflection or mirror line and giving the co-ordinates of each of the vertices. Finally, you need to give the co-ordinates of a reflected image.
Use your knowledge of shapes to find the co-ordinates of the missing vertices.
Describe single transformations fully to move one shape to the position of another. Includes translations, rotations, enlargements and reflections.
This video shows how to enlarge a shape using a shape drawn on a plane piece of paper.
This is best printed onto an A3 sheet of paper. There are three of four shapes that need enlarging. The video to the left shows you how you might do that.

Practice of co-ordinates in all four quadrants.
This is an example of what to look for when doing an enlargement.
Reflect a kite through the mirror line, x=17 and give the co-ordinates. Rotate another kite round the point (17,7)and give the co-ordinates of the new positions of the vertices.
