Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Flips, Slides and Turns".
---
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 U is rotated 180 degrees (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 (or turned).
✔ 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
> ```

Now we need to draw what each shape looks like after the given movement.
---
#### 1. L shape → flip
- There's a dashed vertical line next to the L.
- A flip over that line means a horizontal reflection.
- The original L is on the left side of the line; after flipping, it will be on the right, mirrored.
- So the new shape should look like an L flipped across the vertical axis, forming a kind of "backwards L" or "Γ" shape, but reflected.
✔ Draw: Mirror image of L across the dashed line (right-side version).
---
#### 2. C shape → turn
- The C is open on the right. We are told to turn it.
- The arrow shows a clockwise rotation.
- Turning a C 90° clockwise would make it open downward.
- So it becomes a U-shaped figure, but open downward.
✔ Draw: Rotate the C 90° clockwise → now it opens downward.
---
#### 3. Pentagon-like shape → turn
- This is a five-sided polygon, resembling a house roof with a flat base.
- It has a curved arrow indicating a turn (rotation).
- Since it's not specified, assume a 90° clockwise rotation.
- Rotating this shape 90° clockwise will make the flat base go from bottom to the right side.
✔ Draw: Rotate the shape 90° clockwise so the base is on the right.
---
#### 4. L shape → flip
- This one has a vertical dashed line to the right of the L.
- A flip over that line means reflecting the L across the vertical line.
- The original L is on the left; after flip, it will appear on the right, mirrored.
- The result is a mirrored L (like a backwards L), but now on the opposite side.
✔ Draw: Reflect the L across the vertical line → same as first flip, but now the L is mirrored and placed on the other side.
---
#### Part 1: Label Each Pair
```
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 → Draw the mirror image of L across the vertical line (right side).
2. C turn → Rotate C 90° clockwise → open downward.
3. Pentagon turn → Rotate 90° clockwise → base now on the right.
4. L flip → Reflect across vertical line → mirrored L on the other side.

- Use the grid dots to help align your drawings.
- For flips: reflect each corner across the line.
- For turns: rotate each corner around a central point (often the center of the shape) by the indicated direction.

🔹 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).

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

🔹 Part 2: Draw the Result After Transformation
Now we need to draw what each shape looks like after the given movement.

#### 1. L shape → flip
- There's a dashed vertical line next to the L.
- A flip over that line means a horizontal reflection.
- The original L is on the left side of the line; after flipping, it will be on the right, mirrored.
- So the new shape should look like an L flipped across the vertical axis, forming a kind of "backwards L" or "Γ" shape, but reflected.
✔ Draw: Mirror image of L across the dashed line (right-side version).
---
#### 2. C shape → turn
- The C is open on the right. We are told to turn it.
- The arrow shows a clockwise rotation.
- Turning a C 90° clockwise would make it open downward.
- So it becomes a U-shaped figure, but open downward.
✔ Draw: Rotate the C 90° clockwise → now it opens downward.

#### 3. Pentagon-like shape → turn
- This is a five-sided polygon, resembling a house roof with a flat base.
- It has a curved arrow indicating a turn (rotation).
- Since it's not specified, assume a 90° clockwise rotation.
- Rotating this shape 90° clockwise will make the flat base go from bottom to the right side.
✔ Draw: Rotate the shape 90° clockwise so the base is on the right.

- This one has a vertical dashed line to the right of the L.
- A flip over that line means reflecting the L across the vertical line.
- The original L is on the left; after flip, it will appear on the right, mirrored.
- The result is a mirrored L (like a backwards L), but now on the opposite side.
✔ Draw: Reflect the L across the vertical line → same as first flip, but now the L is mirrored and placed on the other side.

✔ Summary of All Answers:
#### Part 1: Label Each Pair
```
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 → Draw the mirror image of L across the vertical line (right side).
2. C turn → Rotate C 90° clockwise → open downward.
3. Pentagon turn → Rotate 90° clockwise → base now on the right.
4. L flip → Reflect across vertical line → mirrored L on the other side.

📌 Tips for Drawing:
- Use the grid dots to help align your drawings.
- For flips: reflect each corner across the line.
- For turns: rotate each corner around a central point (often the center of the shape) by the indicated direction.
