Students practice identifying and describing transformations—translation, rotation, and reflection—on various shapes in this educational worksheet.

Let’s go through each row one by one. We need to describe the two steps that changed the shape — using only “translation” (slide), “rotation” (turn), or “reflection” (flip).

---

Row 1: Moon shapes

- First step: The moon moves from left to right and also turns a little — it’s rotated.
- Second step: It moves up and to the right again, but doesn’t turn — just slides.

Wait — let’s look closer.

Actually:

First arrow: Moon goes from pointing left → pointing up-right. That’s a rotation (it turned).

Second arrow: Moon moves up and right without turning — that’s a translation.

✔ So:
First: rotation
Second: translation

Row 2: House shapes

- First: House stays same orientation, just moves right → translation
- Second: House turns so its side faces us → that’s a rotation (turned 90 degrees)

✔ So:
First: translation
Second: rotation

Row 3: Boat shapes

- First: Boat moves right, no turn → translation
- Second: Boat flips upside down? Wait — actually, it looks like it flipped over horizontally? Let’s see…

Original boat has flag on left. After second step, flag is still on left, but the whole boat is mirrored? Actually, looking at the hull — it’s flipped vertically? Hmm.

Wait — better way: In the third image, the boat is upside-down compared to the second? No — actually, in the second image, the boat is upright. In the third, it’s flipped so the bottom is now on top? But the flag is still on the same side.

Actually — this is a reflection (flip) over a horizontal line — because the boat is now upside down.

But wait — maybe it’s easier: From first to second: slide right → translation.

From second to third: the boat is flipped upside down → reflection.

✔ So:
First: translation
Second: reflection

Row 4: Dog shapes

- First: Dog is facing forward → then becomes upside down? Wait — no, it’s flipped vertically? Actually, it looks like it was flipped over a horizontal axis — so head goes down, feet go up → that’s a reflection.

Then second step: The dog stays upside down but moves right → that’s a translation.

Wait — let’s check:

Original dog: standing normally.

After first arrow: dog is upside down → that’s a reflection (flip over horizontal line).

After second arrow: same upside-down dog moved to the right → translation.

✔ So:
First: reflection
Second: translation

Row 5: Trophy shapes

- First: Trophy turns sideways → that’s a rotation (probably 90 degrees clockwise)
- Second: Trophy moves up and right without turning → translation

✔ So:
First: rotation
Second: translation

Row 6: Dolphin shapes

- First: Dolphin flips — originally swimming left, now swimming right? Wait — no, after first step, it’s flipped vertically? Actually, it looks like it did a flip over a vertical line — so mirror image → reflection

Wait — original dolphin: tail on left, head on right, curved upward.

After first step: tail on right, head on left, curved downward? That’s both flipped and rotated?

Actually — simpler: It looks like it was reflected over a vertical line (mirror image left-right), AND also flipped upside down? That would be two reflections — but we can only use one term per step.

Wait — perhaps it’s a rotation? If you rotate 180 degrees, it ends up facing opposite direction and upside down.

Yes! Rotating 180 degrees makes it face the other way and flip upside down — which matches.

So first step: rotation (180°)

Second step: Dolphin moves right and slightly up, no turn → translation

✔ So:
First: rotation
Second: translation

Now let’s compile all answers:

Row 1: rotation, translation
Row 2: translation, rotation
Row 3: translation, reflection
Row 4: reflection, translation
Row 5: rotation, translation
Row 6: rotation, translation

Final Answer:

First row: rotation, translation
Second row: translation, rotation
Third row: translation, reflection
Fourth row: reflection, translation
Fifth row: rotation, translation
Sixth row: rotation, translation
