What transformations do

Four coordinate grids showing the same triangle translated, reflected in the line x = 1, rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise about O, and enlarged by scale factor 2 from O

A transformation moves or changes a shape on a coordinate grid. The original shape is called the object, the new one is the image, and matching corners are corresponding vertices.

Step-by-step lessons covering AQA GCSE Maths Transformations for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build fluency with number, ratio and algebra first, since geometry, probability and statistics topics rely on them, and leave extra time nearer the exam for Higher-tier problem-solving and multi-step reasoning questions.
