GCSE & iGCSE Transformations worksheet

Transformations worksheet for GCSE and iGCSE maths: translations, reflections, rotations, enlargements, negative scale factors and invariant points.

A complete transformations worksheet for Pearson Edexcel GCSE (1MA1) and International GCSE (4MA1), written so one resource works for both tiers. Every section is clearly labelled Foundation or Higher, and questions get harder as you go.

What’s covered — Foundation

Translating a shape by a column vector
Reflecting, rotating and enlarging shapes on a grid, including fractional scale factors
Describing a single transformation fully

What’s covered — Higher (grades 6 to 9)

Negative scale factors
Combined transformations
Invariant points

How it’s structured

A. Worked examples & Your turn — a model solution beside a matching question to try
B. Fluency — core skills
C. Reasoning — explain it
D. Problem solving — unfamiliar, multi-step questions
E. Exam practice — exam-style questions with mark allocations

123 marks across Sections B to E (61 Foundation, 62 Higher), with a progress tracker on the front page so students can record their score per section. Describing a transformation fully is drilled as its own skill, since a rotation without a centre or a reflection without a mirror line scores nothing.

How to use it

Works as a full lesson, homework, a cover lesson or targeted intervention. Because each tier is labelled, you can set the Foundation sections to one group and the Higher sections to another from the same print.

What’s included

16-page worksheet (PDF, printable, with diagrams and answer spaces)
