Grade 11 Math Worksheet

NameDate

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Pia turns a rocket design 90° clockwise about the origin with V = [1, 4, 2; 3, -2, 5], columns C, D and F. Where is D′, written like (8, -1)?

  2. Ren enlarges a star design by scale factor 3 about the origin with V = [1, -2, 3; 2, 1, -1], columns C, D and F. Where is F′, written like (8, -1)?

  3. Zee turns a robot design 90° counterclockwise about the origin with V = [2, -1, 6; 5, 3, 1], columns C, D and F. Where is D′, written like (8, -1)?

  4. Esme reflects a kite design over the line y = x with V = [6, 1, -3; 2, -5, 4], columns C, D and F. Where is F′, written like (8, -1)?

  5. Jun multiplies a robot design's vertex matrix by [0, 1; -1, 0]. What does this matrix do?

    • Turns 180° about the origin
    • Reflects over the line through (0, 0) and (1, 1)
    • Turns 90° counterclockwise about the origin
    • Turns 90° clockwise about the origin
  6. Kira multiplies a star design's vertex matrix by [3, 0; 0, 3]. What does this matrix do?

    • Turns 180° about the origin
    • Enlarges by scale factor 3 about the origin
    • Slides every point 3 right and 3 up on the grid
  7. Luz multiplies a boat design's vertex matrix by [0, -1; 1, 0]. What does this matrix do?

    • Turns 180° about the origin
    • Reflects over the line through (0, 0) and (1, 1)
    • Turns 90° counterclockwise about the origin
    • Turns 90° clockwise about the origin
  8. Milo multiplies a quilt block's vertex matrix by [2, 0; 0, 2]. What does this matrix do?

    • Enlarges by scale factor 2 about the origin
    • Turns 180° about the origin
    • Slides every point 2 right and 2 up
  9. Pia applies a reflection over the x-axis to a pencil line with vertex matrix V = [-3, 4; 2, 6], columns C and D. Which matrix is the image?

    • [-3, 4; -2, -6]
    • [-3, -4; 2, -6]
    • [3, -4; 2, 6]
    • [3, -4; -2, -6]
  10. Ren applies a 90° counterclockwise turn about the origin to a kite string drawing with vertex matrix V = [1, 4; 3, -2], columns C and D. Which matrix is the image?

    • [4, -1; -2, -3]
    • [-3, 2; 1, 4]
    • [3, -2; -1, -4]

About this worksheet

Transformation matrices. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the matrix for a reflection, a quarter turn or a dilation from where (1, 0) and (0, 1) go.
  • I can move a point or a whole shape with T × V, and name a move from its matrix.
  • I can combine two moves into one matrix in the right order, and undo a move with the inverse.

Standard: N-VM.C.11 (+)

Words to know

transformation matrix, T: A 2-by-2 table that moves every point of a shape.

vertex matrix, V: One column per corner: x on top, y below.

image: The shape after the move; corner C becomes C′.

T × V: The image's vertex matrix: a row of T against each column of V.

inverse matrix: The matrix that undoes a move.

quarter turn: A turn of 90° about the origin, clockwise or counterclockwise.

Common mistakes

Used the reflection over the other line, so the wrong number changed sign.

Turned the shape the opposite way. Turn a sheet of paper a quarter turn together, and say clockwise or counterclockwise.

Swapped the two numbers of a point but forgot that one or both also change sign.

What to say

Ask: on a flip over the x-axis, which number stays the same?

Ask: which quadrant should the new point be in?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with transformation matrices?
