Translating a shape using a column vector
MA28-04
This lesson is coming soon.
In this lesson
Translate a shape by a stated column vector, and write the column vector that describes a given translation.
What it covers
- Translating a shape by a given column vector on a grid
- Writing the column vector for a translation shown on a grid
- Stating the word 'translation' as part of a full description
- Reading the top number of a column vector as horizontal movement and the bottom number as vertical movement, including negative values

For teachers
This GCSE Maths lesson teaches translating a shape using a column vector. By the end, students should be able to translate a shape by a stated column vector, and write the column vector that describes a given translation. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
