Transformation: a mathematical operation that changes the position and/or shape of

an object in a 2D or 3D space.

Translation: a type of transformation that involves moving an object in a specific


direction without changing its size or orientation.

Enlargement: a type of transformation that changes the size of an object, making it


larger or smaller, without changing its shape or orientation.

Rotation: a type of transformation that involves turning an object around a fixed


point.

Reflection: a type of transformation that involves flipping an object over a mirror


line.

Object: a three-dimensional shape in space.

Image: the result of a transformation applied to an object.

Mirror line: a line that acts as a boundary between two halves of an object after a
reflection transformation.

Centre of rotation: the fixed point around which an object rotates during a
rotation transformation.

Clockwise: a direction of rotation that is the same as the movement of the hands on
a clock.

Anticlockwise: a direction of rotation that is opposite to the movement of the


hands on a clock.

Tessellation: the pattern created by repeating a shape without any gaps or


overlaps.
