Let’s go through each translation step by step.
---
1. Translations: 4 right
Original shape (triangle) is at bottom left. Let’s find its key point — the top vertex is at (-4, -4).
Moving 4 units right means adding 4 to the x-coordinate:
-4 + 4 = 0 → new x = 0
y stays the same → y = -4
So new position: (0, -4)
But since it’s a shape, we move all points 4 right. The whole triangle shifts right without rotating or flipping.
✔ Final position: Triangle moved 4 units to the right.

2. Translations: 3 right and 2 down
Original shape (square) is centered around (-3.5, 3.5) — but let’s pick one corner for simplicity. Say bottom-left corner is at (-4, 3).
Move 3 right: -4 + 3 = -1
Move 2 down: 3 - 2 = 1
New corner: (-1, 1)
Again, entire square moves that way.
✔ Final position: Square moved 3 right and 2 down.

3. Translations: 3 left
Original shape (hexagon) is on the right side. One vertex is at (5, 2).
Move 3 left: 5 - 3 = 2
y stays same: 2
New vertex: (2, 2)
Whole hexagon shifts left.
✔ Final position: Hexagon moved 3 units to the left.

4. Translations: 4 right and 3 down
Original shape (L-shape) is in top-left. Let’s take the bottom-right corner of the L — it’s at (-2, 3).
Move 4 right: -2 + 4 = 2
Move 3 down: 3 - 3 = 0
New corner: (2, 0)
Entire L-shape moves accordingly.
✔ Final position: L-shape moved 4 right and 3 down.

Since this is a worksheet asking to perform translations, and no specific question was asked beyond “solve the problem”, the task is to show where each shape ends up after the given translation.
Final Answer:
Each shape is moved according to the instruction:
- Triangle: 4 right
- Square: 3 right and 2 down
- Hexagon: 3 left
- L-shape: 4 right and 3 down
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of translation worksheet.
