To solve this problem, we need to look at how the shape with the black dot moves from the first position to the second position in each pair.
Here is a quick guide to help you decide:
*
Translation: The shape slides. It stays facing the same way (up is still up). It just moves left, right, up, or down.
*
Reflection: The shape flips like a mirror image. If it was facing right, now it faces left.
*
Rotation: The shape turns around a point. It might be upside down or sideways compared to where it started.
Let's go through them one by one:
a. The shape moves to the right. It is still facing the same direction.
*
Answer: Translation
b. The shape has flipped over. The part that was on the left is now on the right.
*
Answer: Reflection
c. The shape has turned. The long part was vertical, now it is horizontal.
*
Answer: Rotation
d. The shape moved down. It is still facing the same way.
*
Answer: Translation
e. The shape turned. The "L" shape is now pointing in a different direction.
*
Answer: Rotation
f. The shape flipped horizontally. The short leg of the L pointed right, now it points left.
*
Answer: Reflection
g. The shape moved diagonally (down and to the right). It didn't turn or flip.
*
Answer: Translation
h. The shape flipped vertically (like a reflection in water). The top became the bottom.
*
Answer: Reflection
i. The shape turned 90 degrees.
*
Answer: Rotation
j. The shape moved to the right. It looks exactly the same, just in a new spot.
*
Answer: Translation
k. The shape flipped over a diagonal line.
*
Answer: Reflection
l. The shape turned upside down.
*
Answer: Rotation
