These quizzes practise concepts within this topic. Multiple-choice answers alone do not demonstrate drawing, conducting an investigation or using a digital tool.
Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M5SP03-C01A translation moves every vertex the same distance in the same direction. Corresponding side lengths and angles stay equal.
- VC2M5SP03-C02Reflect a point at equal distance across a named mirror, rotate it about a stated centre, and follow any subsequent movement in order.
- VC2M5SP03-C03Follow a rotation and translation in order, checking that these transformations preserve lengths and angles.
- VC2M5SP03-C04Performing whole-shape translations, reflections and rotations, optionally with dynamic geometry software; identifying symmetries.
