1/5

Q2.Which statement below is correct?

Reflections and Translations always look the sameYou can easily tell if congruent shapes have been reflected or translatedIt is easier to tell if a shape has been translated or reflected if the vertices are marked in a colour or labelledReflections and Translations never look the same

2/5

Q3.Which statement below is correct?

It is only hard to tell if a shape has been translated or reflected if the shape is a rectangleIt is only hard to tell if a shape has been translated or reflected if the shape is a quadrilateralIt is only hard to tell if a shape has been translated or reflected if the shape is regularNone of the above

3/5

Q4.Which statement below is correct?

If a right angled triangle has been reflected along the x axis then it is not obvious whether it has been reflected and not translatedIf a right angled triangle has been reflected along the y axis then it is not obvious whether it has been reflected or translatedIf an equilateral triangle has been reflected along the y axis then it is obvious that it has been reflected and not translatedIf an equilateral triangle has been reflected along the y axis then it is not clear whether it has been reflected or translated

Exploring Reflections and Translations Quiz

Quiz about the similarities of translating and reflecting shapes

Q1.Which of the statements below is correct?

Transformations are a type of translationTransformations and reflections are types of translationsReflections and translations are types of transformationsReflection is the only type of translation

1/5

Q2.Which of the statements below is correct?

When we reflect a square across the y axis we can also translate it left/right to the same positionWhen we reflect a square across the y-axis we can also translate it up/downWhen we reflect a square across the y-axis we cannot also translate the original shape so it is the same as the translated squareNone of the above

2/5

Q3.What would happen if we reflected a shape onto the x-axis and then onto the y-axis and then back onto the x-axis and then onto the y-axis?

The shape would be translated to the leftThe shape would go back to it's original positionThe shape would be translated 1 square away from the originalNone of the above, it depends on the actual shape

3/5

Q4.Which of the statements below is correct?

When we reflect a square onto the x-axis we can also translate it left/rightWhen we reflect a square onto the x-axis the size of the shape changesWhen we reflect a square onto the x-axis we can also translate it up/downWhen we reflect a square onto the x-axis, the reflected shape must pass through the origin

4/5

Q5.Which of the statements below is NOT correct?

If we reflect a right-angled triangle across the y-axis we can also say that this shape has been translated either to the left or rightIf we reflect a rectangle across the y-axis we can also say that this shape has been translated either to the left or to the rightIf we reflect a rectangle across the x-axis then we can also say that this shape has been translated either up or downNone of the above. It would depend on the orientation of the right angled triangle
