Wow this is an excellent tarsia on transforming functions at A-level. Some of the questions require students to describe the transformation and some ask them for the new stationary point of a curve under a certain transformation. This would make an excellent activity at any stage of the lesson, given how in depth it is you would probably want to use it as a main activity. This would allow you to listen to student discussion which can be so valuable. Thank you for sharing.
