Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Flips, Slides and Turns".

🔹 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).

---

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
> ```

🔹 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.

---

#### 4. L shape → flip
- This time, the dashed line is vertical, and the L is on the right side.
- Flip over the vertical line → reflect it to the left.
- The result is a mirror image of the L, now pointing to the left.

✔ Draw: Mirror image of the L on the left side of the line.

---

✔ Summary of Answers:

#### Part 1 – Write “flip”, “slide”, or “turn”:
```
L → L : slide
B → B : flip
U → U : turn
E → E : flip
Z → Z : turn
W → W : turn
```

#### Part 2 – Draw the transformations:
1. First L (flip) → Draw the mirror image of the L across the vertical line (left-facing).
2. C (turn) → Draw the C rotated 90° clockwise → open downward.
3. Pentagon (turn) → Rotate 90° clockwise → base now on the right.
4. Second L (flip) → Draw mirror image across the vertical line (now on the left).

🖼️ Visual Description of What to Draw (since I can't draw):

- Flip of L: Imagine the L as a corner. Reflect it across the line → the "arm" that was on the right goes to the left.
- Turn of C: Original C opens right → after turning clockwise, it opens down.
- Turn of pentagon: Original has flat base at bottom → after 90° clockwise, flat base is on the right.
- Flip of L: Same as first one, but now the L is on the right, so flip it to the left.

💡 Tip for Students: Use tracing paper or imagine folding along the line to check flips. For turns, rotate the shape around its center.
