Translations in the 1st Quadrant (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet follows on from Translations in the 1st Quadrant (A) by asking learners to think about the translation used and how combinations of translations can be written as one single translation. Section A provides a point and its image on a coordinate grid after a translation and requires the translation to be described. Section B then provides just the object and image coordinates and asks for the translation. Section C then asks learners to follow a combination of translations for some points and then give the single translations for each. Finally, section D asks learners to translate the vertices of some shapes and then write down the name of the new shape.
