Transformation Practice

We studied 3 transformations:

Transformation
Example
Reflections (flip):
  • Where is the mirror line?

Reflect the figure on the red mirror line
Translations (slide):
  • How many squares up/down?
  • How many squares right/left?

Translate the F 2 squares up, 4 squares right.
Rotations:
  • Amount of rotation?
  • Which direction? (Clockwise/Counter Clockwise)
  • Where is the turn point?


Rotate the L ¼ turn clockwise around the bottom right vertex (corner) of the object
