Transformations
1. Reflection,
2. Translation,
3. Rotation
The reflection of a point is the same distance from the mirror line, measured at 90% (right angels) to the line.
Your image can be double checked by folding your paper along the mirror line.
The mirror line can be vertical, horizontal of diagonal.

2. TRANSLATION
Translation = Sliding a shape around.

On squared paper - mark each new corner point by working out their new positions.
Then join corners together
3. ROTATION Rotation = TURN
Anti clockwise Turn = moving around a point (centre of rotation) Clockwise
Move = clcokwise / anti clockwise
Amount of turn = degrees/fraction (90 degrees or ¼)
Trace the object, the centre (+) and the pointer (90 °/ ¼ of a rotation)
Place a pencil on the centre (pinning both pages together) and rotate the tracing paper 90° clockwise
Rotating with tracing paper
Mark the corners of the image (Leaving pressure points on original page beneath the tracing paper)
Remove the tracing paper and join the corners.
