A translation is a transformation of the plane that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

A translation is a direct isometry. A translation creates a figure that is

congruent with the original figure

Translations may be combined with rotations and reflections.

A translation is the same as sliding/shifting an object.

The original object and its image are congruent - identical in every respect except for their position.

A transformation where each point in a shape appears at an equal distance on the opposite side of a given line

A mirror image Has the same size of the original image

The operation of exchanging all points of a mathematical object with their mirror images

They flip in a 180 degree angle

Turning around a center The distance from the shape stays

the same Every point makes a circle around

the center

the turning of a body part about its long axis as if on a pivot

rotation is a transformation in a plane or in space that describes the motion of a rigid body around a fixed point

We learned: That transformations can be used in many ways. Like real life situations such as: art, geometry, and graphic designs We had a little difficulty: We didn’t have any difficulty with nothing.The easiest part of the lesson was: Finding the pictures for the transformationsWe enjoyed: Doing the whole projectWe would like to: Learn something different
