What would it mean in maths describe fully the reflection that maps shape b onto shape a?

To describe a particular transformation fully, it means to describe what has happened to shape B to make it into shape A.
In this instance, you would start off your description with "Reflection". Next, you must identify the mirror line which is between shape B and A. Make sure to mark it in. Next, you would write Mirror Line= ?? (We will replace the ?? later). Because all transformations are on graphs with co-ordinates, you will need to work out where your mirror line lies. An example would be, Mirror Line: x=2. This means the mirror line is on the 2nd sector within the X axis.
Hope this makes sense. It probably is a little confusing but with a few drawn examples it would be a lot better to understand.

What is a face value in maths?
A face value in maths is the out-side of the shape, as to say the face of a shape. The face value is the sides of a shape.
Does a reflection change the orientation of a shape?
It will, unless the shape is symmetrical and the axis of reflection is parallel to the axis of symmetry.
What is a reflection as a math term?
A reflection is when a shape flips completely over. The coordinates of the shape will opposite as well. The reflection can change depending what you are flipping it over.
Is it a glide-reflection rotation reflection or translation?
A glide reflection is where you reflect the shape and translate it. A glide rotation is where you rotate a shape and translate it. A glide translation doesn't exist.
Is a diamond a shape in maths?
