Let me work through this problem step by step.
The worksheet asks students to identify whether each letter pair shows a translation, reflection, or rotation.
Let me analyze each pair:
1.
D and D (reversed/flipped) - The second D appears to be a mirror image of the first D. This is a
reflection.
2.
E and E (mirrored) - The second E looks like a mirror image (flipped horizontally). This is a
reflection.
3.
F and F - The second F appears to be the same orientation as the first, just moved. This is a
translation.
4.
G and G (rotated) - The second G appears to be rotated compared to the first. Looking at it, it seems like a 180-degree rotation. This is a
rotation.
5.
H and H (with line) - The H appears to have been reflected across a horizontal line. This is a
reflection.
6.
I and I (with dash) - The I appears to be translated (moved) with a dash/line next to it showing movement. This is a
translation.
7.
J and L - The J has been rotated to become an L shape. This is a
rotation.
8.
K and K - The second K appears to be the same as the first, just moved over. This is a
translation.
9.
Draw the letter L to show a reflection - Student needs to draw a mirrored/reflected L.
10.
Draw the letter M to show a translation - Student needs to draw M in a different position but same orientation.
Let me verify my answers more carefully by thinking about what each transformation means:
- Translation: slide/move without turning or flipping
- Reflection: flip/mirror image
- Rotation: turn around a point
Re-analyzing:
1. D → flipped D:
Reflection ✓
2. E → mirrored E:
Reflection ✓
3. F → F (same orientation, moved):
Translation ✓
4. G → rotated G:
Rotation ✓
5. H → H with horizontal line (reflected across horizontal axis):
Reflection ✓
6. I → I with dash (translated):
Translation ✓
7. J → L (rotated 90 degrees):
Rotation ✓
8. K → K (same, moved):
Translation ✓
For questions 9 and 10, these are drawing tasks where students need to demonstrate the transformations.
Final Answer:
1. Reflection
2. Reflection
3. Translation
4. Rotation
5. Reflection
6. Translation
7. Rotation
8. Translation
9. Draw a mirrored/reflected L
10. Draw M in a different position (same orientation)
