Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Flips, Slides and Turns".

---

🔹 Part 1: Identify the Movement (Flip, Slide, or Turn)

We are given pairs of shapes and need to determine whether each transformation is a flip, slide, or turn.

#### Definitions:
- Flip: A reflection over a line (like a mirror image).
- Slide: A translation — the shape moves in a straight direction without rotating or flipping.
- Turn: A rotation around a point (clockwise or counterclockwise).

---

Now let’s analyze each pair:

1. L → L
- The two Ls are identical and aligned. One is shifted to the right.
✔ Slide

2. B → B
- The second B is mirrored (left and right reversed).
✔ Flip

3. U → U
- The second U is rotated 180° (upside down).
✔ Turn

4. E → E
- The second E is flipped horizontally (mirror image).
✔ Flip

5. Z → Z
- The second Z is rotated 90° clockwise.
✔ Turn

6. W → W
- The second W is rotated 180° (upside down).
✔ Turn

> ✔ Final Answers for Part 1:
> ```
> L → L : slide
> B → B : flip
> U → U : turn
> E → E : flip
> Z → Z : turn
> W → W : turn
> ```

🔹 Part 2: Draw the Result After Each Movement

Now we need to draw what each shape would look like after the specified movement.

#### 1. L shape → flip
- There's a dashed vertical line next to the L.
- A flip over this vertical line means reflect the L across it.
- The original L opens to the right; after flipping, it will open to the left.
- So, draw an L that opens to the left, same size, symmetric across the line.

✔ Result: An "L" facing left.

#### 2. C shape → turn
- The C is shown with a curved arrow indicating a clockwise turn.
- A full turn? Probably a 90° clockwise rotation.
- Original C opens to the right.
- After turning 90° clockwise, it will open downward.
- It becomes a "C" oriented downward.

✔ Result: A C rotated 90° clockwise (opens down).

#### 3. Pentagon-like shape → turn
- Shape: a rectangle with one side missing (like a pentagon with a flat top and bottom).
- Arrow indicates clockwise turn.
- Let’s assume a 90° clockwise rotation.
- The shape has a “bite” on the right side.
- After rotation, the bite will be at the bottom.
- Rotate the entire shape 90° clockwise.

✔ Result: The shape rotated so that the flat sides become vertical and horizontal, and the missing side is now at the bottom.

#### 4. L shape → flip
- This time, there's a vertical dashed line to the right of the L.
- Flip means reflect across this line.
- The original L opens to the right.
- After flipping over the line, it will be mirrored — so it opens to the left, but positioned on the other side of the line.
- Since the line is to the right of the shape, the flipped version will be on the opposite side.

✔ Result: An L opening to the left, placed on the other side of the dashed line.

✔ Final Answers Summary:

#### Part 1: Label each transformation
| Pair | Transformation |
|------|----------------|
| L → L | slide |
| B → B | flip |
| U → U | turn |
| E → E | flip |
| Z → Z | turn |
| W → W | turn |

#### Part 2: Draw the transformed shapes

1. L flip: Reflect across vertical line → L opens to the left.
2. C turn (clockwise): Rotate 90° clockwise → C opens downward.
3. Pentagon turn (clockwise): Rotate 90° clockwise → shape rotated so the missing side is at the bottom.
4. L flip (across line on the right): Mirror image → L opens to the left, on the opposite side of the line.

📝 Instructions for Drawing (if you're completing the worksheet):

1. First box (L flip): Draw an L-shaped figure opening to the left, aligned with the dashed line as the axis of symmetry.
2. Second box (C turn): Rotate the C 90° clockwise → draw it pointing downward.
3. Third box (pentagon turn): Rotate the shape 90° clockwise — imagine spinning it like a wheel — the flat top becomes the right side, and the missing edge is now at the bottom.
4. Fourth box (L flip): Reflect the L across the dashed line — draw the mirror image on the other side, opening to the left.
