Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Draw slide, flip or turn | Translations math, Math, Reflection math
Let’s go through each problem one by one. For each shape, we need to draw what it looks like after doing the move: Turn, Slide, or Flip.

We’ll imagine how the shape moves on the grid — no flipping upside down unless told, no rotating unless “Turn” is said, and sliding means moving without turning or flipping.

---

1) Turn
The original shape is a backward “K” pointing right. A “Turn” usually means rotate 90 degrees clockwise (unless specified otherwise). So if you turn it once clockwise, the pointy part will face downward. Draw that same shape but rotated so the open side faces down.

Final for #1: Shape turned 90° clockwise → pointy end now at bottom.

---

2) Slide
Sliding means move the whole shape somewhere else on the grid — same direction, same orientation. You can slide it anywhere — let’s say 3 dots to the right and 2 up. Just copy the exact same shape in a new spot.

Final for #2: Same hexagon shape, moved to a different location on the grid.

---

3) Flip
Flipping means mirror image. The L-shape with a step — flip it over a vertical line (left-right flip). So the short part that was on the left will now be on the right.

Final for #3: Mirror image of the stepped-L — flipped horizontally.

---

4) Turn
The T-shape is upright. Turn it 90° clockwise → now the top bar becomes the right arm, and the stem points left. Like a sideways T facing left.

Final for #4: T rotated 90° clockwise → looks like a “⊥” rotated to lie on its side pointing left.

---

5) Slide
Again, just move the chevron/V-shape to another place — maybe 4 dots right and 1 down. Keep it exactly the same, just relocated.

Final for #5: Same V-shape, drawn in a new position on the grid.

---

6) Flip
This shape looks like an arrowhead on top of a rectangle. Flip it vertically (up-down flip). So the arrowhead will point DOWN instead of UP.

Final for #6: Arrowhead now pointing downward, rectangle below it unchanged.

*(Note: Sometimes “flip” means horizontal — but since this shape has clear top/bottom, vertical flip makes more sense here. If unsure, either is acceptable as long as consistent — but standard is often vertical for such shapes.)*

Actually — looking again: In many worksheets, “Flip” without specification means flip over a vertical axis (left-right). Let’s check:

Original: Arrowhead on top, rectangle below, and there’s a little bump on the right side of the rectangle? Wait — actually, looking closely, it’s symmetric left-right? No — wait, the shape is: triangle on top, then a rectangle with a small square sticking out on the RIGHT side.

So if we flip LEFT-RIGHT, the bump goes to the LEFT.

Yes — that’s correct.

Correction for #6: Flip horizontally → bump moves from right to left side of the base.

---

7) Turn
Arrow pointing up. Turn 90° clockwise → now points to the RIGHT.

Final for #7: Arrow rotated to point right.

---

8) Slide
L-shape made of blocks. Slide it — say, 2 dots left and 3 up. Copy the exact same shape elsewhere.

Final for #8: Same L-shape, moved to a new position.

---

Now, since we’re not drawing here, I’ll describe what each final image should look like clearly so you can draw them on your worksheet.

Final Answer:

1) Original K-shape turned 90° clockwise → pointy end faces down.
2) Hexagon slid to any new position — same size, same angle.
3) Stepped-L flipped left-right → short part now on right.
4) T-shape turned 90° clockwise → lies on its side, stem pointing left.
5) Chevron slid to new position — same orientation.
6) Arrow-with-bump flipped left-right → bump now on left side.
7) Up-arrow turned 90° clockwise → points right.
8) Block-L slid to new position — same shape, new location.

Draw each accordingly on your dot grid!
