It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Slides, Flips, and Turns", which is a geometry activity focused on transformations:
translations (slides),
reflections (flips), and
rotations (turns). The task asks students to determine whether each pair of figures is related by a
slide,
flip, or
turn.
Let’s go through the problem step by step and solve it.
---
🔍 Understanding the Concepts:
1.
Slide (Translation):
- The figure moves in a straight direction without rotating or flipping.
- All points move the same distance in the same direction.
- Shape and orientation remain the same.
2.
Flip (Reflection):
- The figure is mirrored across a line (like a mirror).
- The shape is reversed (left becomes right, etc.).
3.
Turn (Rotation):
- The figure is rotated around a point (usually 90°, 180°, or 270°).
- Orientation changes but not flipped.

Now let's analyze each pair (a, b, c, d, e):
---
✔ a.
- Left figure: A square with a small triangle attached to its
right side.
- Right figure: Same square with triangle now on the
left side.
- The triangle has been reflected across a vertical line.
- This is a
flip (reflection).
✔ Answer: Flip
---
✔ b.
- Left figure: A "C" shape pointing
upward.
- Right figure: A "C" shape pointing
downward.
- It looks like the figure has been flipped vertically (over a horizontal line).
- The orientation is reversed top-to-bottom.
✔ Answer: Flip
---
✔ c.
- Left figure: A "U" shape opening
upward.
- Right figure: A "U" shape opening
to the right.
- The figure has been turned clockwise by 90°.
- This is a
turn (rotation).
✔ Answer: Turn
---
✔ d.
- Left figure: A curved arrow pointing
upward.
- Right figure: A curved arrow pointing
downward.
- The shape is mirrored — left/right stays the same, but up/down is reversed.
- This suggests a
flip over a horizontal line.
✔ Answer: Flip
---
✔ e.
- Left figure: A triangle with a small flag-like shape on the
right.
- Right figure: The same triangle, but the flag is now on the
left, and the whole figure appears rotated.
- Wait — look closely: The triangle has been
rotated 180° (turned upside down) and the flag is now on the opposite side.
- But note: the
entire figure has been rotated, not just flipped.
- The orientation changed completely — this is a
turn.
✔ Answer: Turn

📝 Final Answers:
| Pair | Transformation |
|------|----------------|
| a | Flip |
| b | Flip |
| c | Turn |
| d | Flip |
| e | Turn |

✔ Summary:
-
Flips: a, b, d
-
Turns: c, e
-
Slides: None in this set
> Note: There are no slides (translations) shown here — all transformations involve either flipping or turning.
