A set of differentiated worksheets on transformation with a mixture of reflection, enlargement, translation and rotation questions for each difficulty. If you have used my other Transformation worksheets or my unit of work on Transformations this set of worksheets will be good for consolidation or revision. This product will also be included in the Transformation unit of work so if you have purchased it you can download it at no extra cost.
There are 12 questions for each difficulty with full solutions - There is at least 3 questions on each topic per colour.
The following objects are covered:
Blue (easy)
*Rotating shapes: rotating a shape on a square grid
Translations: translating a shape on a square grid
Reflections: reflecting a shape in a given mirror line
Enlargements: Enlarge an object by an integer scale factor from a centre of enlargement
Gold (medium)
*Rotating shapes: rotating a shape around given coordinates
Translations: translating a shape using vectors
Reflections: reflecting a shape in a given line such as x=1 or y = -2
Enlargements: Enlarge an object by a fractional scale factor from a centre of enlargement
Red (hard)

A lesson on using Pythagoras theorem. Includes a powerpoint teaching students about how to apply Pythagoras’ theorem, a differentiated workbook and a rounding dominos activity for the starter. Skills covered include using Pythagoras to find the hypotenuse, using Pythagoras to find the short side and length of a set of coordinates, using Pythagoras to find the perimeter of compound shape
Time saving resource for busy teachers! You should be able to teach a lesson with hardly any preparation (mainly printing and maybe some cutting!).
Students will need to know how to round to significant figures and decimal places in order to access this lesson fully.
Fully differentiated objectives:
Blue:
Use Pythagoras’ theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.
Gold:
Use Pythagoras’ theorem to find length of a short side in a right-angled triangle
Use Pythagoras’ theorem to find the length of a line segment, given the coordinates of the end-points.
Red:
Use Pythagoras’ theorem to find lengths and areas of compound shapes
This resource includes:
• A PowerPoint
• A differentiated Work booklet that includes self-assessment sections
• 2 sets of dominos on rounding to decimal places and significant figures to use as a starter activity (if you need a more comprehensive set of dominos click here)
• Answers
The PowerPoint includes the following format (watch the preview video here):
• Objective and levels
• A starter
• A “how to teaching portion” with animated examples
• And Afl mini whiteboard quiz
• Plenary (with answers)
Recommendations:
Laminate the dominos for use again
The powerpoint and booklet are currently set up for GCSE maths grades, however you can edit the grades to reflect KS3 or your own schools assessment criteria. In the word booklet if you change any grade (e.g the blue section) it should automatically change the rest of that colour into the same grade.
This will take up a whole lesson at least.

Students will find rounding to decimal places and significant figures more engaging with these sets of dominos. Great to use as a starter or plenary in a lesson on rounding to decimal places or significant figures, or as a starter to check for prior learning when teaching something like Trigonometry or Pythagoras. Skills include rounding to 1 decimal places, 2 decimal places, 1 significant figure, 2 significant figures, 3 significant figures and a mix of all.
This activity is a fun and novel way for students to practise rounding to decimal places and significant figures. They can start on any domino they like, answer the question, find the answer on a different domino then repeat the process. If they have answered all questions correctly they should end up back at the domino they started with.
Why dominos is a great activity:
Students can check their own answers
They will complete 20 questions in a way that is completely different from standard worksheets
Students find it fun to search for and find the answers
They can be laminated to be used again
