Identifying Transformations

Front

What is a slide in transformations?

Back

A slide, also known as a translation, moves a shape from one position to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is a flip in transformations?

Back

A flip, also known as a reflection, creates a mirror image of a shape over a line, changing its orientation but not its size or shape.

Front

What is a turn in transformations?

Back

A turn, also known as a rotation, moves a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle, changing its orientation but not its size or shape.

Front

How do you identify a slide transformation?

Back

A slide transformation can be identified by observing that the shape moves in a straight line to a new position without any rotation or flipping.

Front

How do you identify a flip transformation?

Back

A flip transformation can be identified by observing that the shape appears as a mirror image across a specific line.

Front

How do you identify a turn transformation?

Back

A turn transformation can be identified by observing that the shape rotates around a point, changing its orientation.

Front

What is the effect of a slide on a shape?

Back

The effect of a slide on a shape is that it maintains the shape's size and orientation while changing its position.

Front

What is the effect of a flip on a shape?

Back

The effect of a flip on a shape is that it creates a mirror image, reversing the orientation while keeping the size and shape the same.

Front

What is the effect of a turn on a shape?

Back

The effect of a turn on a shape is that it rotates the shape around a point, changing its orientation but not its size or shape.

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations?

Back

Yes, a shape can undergo multiple transformations, such as a slide followed by a flip or a turn.
