This image shows three types of geometric transformations:
1.
Slide - Translate: The object (purple triangle) moves to a new position without rotating or flipping. All points move the same distance in the same direction.
2.
Flip - Reflect: The object is mirrored across a line (the red dashed line). The image appears as if you're looking at it in a mirror.
3.
Turn - Rotate: The object rotates around a point (shown by the curved arrows). It turns but keeps its shape and size.
These are the three basic rigid transformations in geometry - they change position but not the shape or size of the figure.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of translation geometry worksheets.
