This document provides an overview of transformations presented by Mr. R. Munga, Head of Department for Mathematics at Hillside Secondary School. It defines transformations as geometric operations that map a set of points from one position to another following specified rules. There are six main types of transformations discussed: translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement, shear, and stretch. For each transformation type, the document provides the key properties, describes how to identify and fully specify the transformation, and includes example problems and solutions. The goal is to build students' understanding and ability to recognize, describe, and perform different types of geometric transformations.

3. PRE REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE
 Coordinate geometry
 Locus
 Congruency and Similarity
 Vectors
 Angle measure
 matrices

4. DEFINITION
Transformation is a Geometrical operation that maps
/shifts/moves a set of point(s) (objects) from one position to
another position (image) following certain specified set of
rule(s).
TYPES OF TRANSFORMATIONS
Basically there are six types of Transformations namely
1. Translation (T)
2. Reflection (M)
3. Rotation (R)
4. Enlargement (E)
5. Shear (H)
6. Stretch (S)
