Geometry and Measurement: Transformations, Level 4
AO1: Use the invariant properties of figures and objects under transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement).
This means students will know invariant properties are those features of a figure that do not change as it is reflected, rotated, translated or enlarged.
Under rotation lengths, areas, angles do not change but orientation does.
Under reflection lengths, areas and angles do not change but orientation does.
Under translation lengths, areas, angles and orientation do not change.
Under enlargement angles and orientation do not change but lengths and areas do.
At Level Four students should be able to use the above invariant properties to create symmetrical patterns such as tessellations, logos and friezes, and to create enlarged copies of graphics.
