MATHS - Geometry - Transformations Reflections

There are 4 types of transformation that we learn about in maths: rotation, reflection, translation and enlargement. In this video we’re going to learn about reflections. When you look in a mirror, you see your reflection. In maths, it’s pretty much the same thing. However, instead of a mirror, there’s a mirror line. There are two fundamental rules for reflecting a shape: 1. It must always be perpendicular to the mirror line. 2. The reflected shapes are equal distances from the mirror line.
