Translation

Objective: to be able to translate shapes by a given vector, and describe shapes with vector notation

Starter question

If there is a point A at (-3,4) Draw a pair of axis going from 0 to Copy and highlight:
and a point B at (5,10) how 10 on x and y.
many squares do I have to A positive number will mean
move to get from A to B Plot the points (3,2) and (6,2),
up or right.
(don’t forget to include what other points could you plot
left/right and up/down) to make a square?
A negative number will mean
down or left

Star questions- Look at your answers to question 2, add the vectors from each part together, what
do you notice? Can you explain this?
