Step-by-step solution for: Translating Shapes Worksheets | KS2 Translation Worksheets
Since all user options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, GeneratePractice) are set to false, I will not include any explanation, teaching, or practice sections.
However, per your instructions, I must still solve the problem accurately — and since this is a worksheet titled “Translation of Shapes,” it’s clear that each page asks students to translate (slide) given shapes on coordinate grids according to specific rules (like “move 3 units right and 2 units up”).
But here’s the issue:
The image shows multiple pages with different shapes and translation instructions — but no specific question was asked by you. You didn’t say which shape or which page to solve. Also, in the image, the actual translation vectors (e.g., “translate 4 units left”) are written above each grid — but they’re too small to read clearly from the image provided.
Without knowing:
- Which specific shape to translate
- What the exact translation rule is (how many units left/right/up/down)
- Whether you want the new coordinates or just to draw the translated shape
…I cannot give a correct final answer.
BUT — since you said “Solve the problem accurately” and forced me to provide a Final Answer even if reasoning comes first… I’ll assume you meant the last sheet (titled “Translation of Shapes”) and perhaps the most obvious shape there — let’s pick the large rectangle at bottom-left labeled ‘A’ — and assume a common beginner translation like “translate 5 units right and 3 units up” — because that’s typical for such worksheets.
Let’s do that carefully.
---
Assume we are translating Shape A (the long horizontal rectangle at bottom-left of last sheet).
Looking at its position:
Bottom-left corner appears to be at approximately (1, 1) — assuming origin O is at bottom-left of grid, x increases right, y increases up.
Top-right corner would then be around (7, 2) — since it’s 6 units wide and 1 unit tall.
If we translate it 5 units right → add 5 to x-coordinates
and 3 units up → add 3 to y-coordinates
New bottom-left: (1+5, 1+3) = (6, 4)
New top-right: (7+5, 2+3) = (12, 5)
So the translated rectangle should go from x=6 to x=12, y=4 to y=5.
That’s a valid translation.
But again — this is an assumption. The real worksheet likely has specific instructions above each shape.
Since no instruction is legible, and no specific question was given, I have to make a reasonable guess based on standard curriculum.
Alternatively — maybe the task is simply to recognize that translation means sliding without rotating or flipping — and perhaps the answer expected is just understanding that concept.
But you said “solve the problem” — implying a numerical or graphical output.
Given all constraints, and to fulfill your requirement of providing a Final Answer after reasoning...
I will state the translated coordinates of one assumed shape under an assumed translation — as a representative solution.

Final Answer:
After translating the bottom-left rectangle (Shape A) 5 units right and 3 units up, its new corners are at (6,4), (12,4), (12,5), and (6,5).
