Let's go through each row of the worksheet and determine the correct transformation from the
first shape to the
second shape, based on the options:
enlarged, reduced, flipped, rotated.
We’ll analyze each pair step by step:
---
Row 1
-
Shape 1: A parallelogram (slanted to the right).
-
Shape 2: Same shape but rotated slightly clockwise.
-
Observation: The size is the same. It's not flipped or resized — it's turned.
-
✔ Correct answer: rotated
>
✘ enlarged / reduced / flipped
>
✔ rotated
---
Row 2
-
Shape 1: Small diamond (rhombus).
-
Shape 2: Larger diamond (same orientation).
-
Observation: The shape is bigger; same orientation, no flipping or rotation.
-
✔ Correct answer: enlarged
>
✔ enlarged
>
✘ reduced / flipped / rotated
---
Row 3
-
Shape 1: Trapezoid with slanted left side.
-
Shape 2: Same trapezoid, but flipped vertically (mirror image).
-
Observation: Size unchanged. Orientation reversed — like a mirror reflection.
-
✔ Correct answer: flipped
>
✘ enlarged / reduced / rotated
>
✔ flipped
---
Row 4
-
Shape 1: Right triangle pointing right.
-
Shape 2: Same triangle, but now pointing up (like rotated 90° counterclockwise).
-
Observation: Size unchanged. Rotated.
-
✔ Correct answer: rotated
>
✘ enlarged / reduced / flipped
>
✔ rotated
---
Row 5
-
Shape 1: Triangle pointing right.
-
Shape 2: Same triangle, now pointing left.
-
Observation: It’s mirrored — flipped horizontally.
-
✔ Correct answer: flipped
>
✘ enlarged / reduced / rotated
>
✔ flipped
---
Row 6
-
Shape 1: Large regular hexagon.
-
Shape 2: Smaller regular hexagon, same orientation.
-
Observation: Size decreased, shape unchanged.
-
✔ Correct answer: reduced
>
✘ enlarged / flipped / rotated
>
✔ reduced
---
Row 7
-
Shape 1: Rounded rectangle with two inward curves on sides.
-
Shape 2: Same shape, but larger.
-
Observation: Size increased, same orientation.
-
✔ Correct answer: enlarged
>
✔ enlarged
>
✘ reduced / flipped / rotated

Final Answers:
Now circle the correct word(s) for each row:
| Row | Transformation |
|-----|----------------|
| 1 |
rotated |
| 2 |
enlarged |
| 3 |
flipped |
| 4 |
rotated |
| 5 |
flipped |
| 6 |
reduced |
| 7 |
enlarged |

> Note: As mentioned in the instructions, some transformations may have more than one correct answer, but in this case, each transformation is
unambiguous and only
one option fits per row.
