Transformations

Front

What is Reflection in transformations?

Back

Reflection is a transformation that flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is Translation in transformations?

Back

Translation is a transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without turning it.

Front

What is Rotation in transformations?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point.

Front

What does it mean to have symmetry?

Back

Symmetry means that one shape becomes exactly like another when you flip, slide, or turn it.

Front

What is the line of symmetry?

Back

The line of symmetry is the line that divides a shape into two identical parts.

Front

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

Back

Yes, some shapes can have multiple lines of symmetry.

Front

What is an example of a shape with reflection symmetry?

Back

A butterfly has reflection symmetry because it can be divided into two identical halves.

Front

What is an example of a shape that can be rotated?

Back

A star can be rotated and still look the same at certain angles.

Front

What happens during a translation?

Back

During a translation, every point of the shape moves the same distance in the same direction.

Front

What is the difference between rotation and reflection?

Back

Rotation turns a shape around a point, while reflection flips it over a line.
