Free Printable & Interactive Translations Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re translating shapes on a coordinate grid — that means moving them without rotating or flipping. Each translation tells us how many units to move left/right (x-direction) and up/down (y-direction).

We’ll track the movement of key points (like corners) of each shape, then redraw the shape in its new position.

Problem 1: 5 units down and 4 units right

Original shape is in the top-left quadrant. Let’s pick a corner point — say, the bottom-right corner of the original shape is at (-2, 3).
Move it:
- 4 units right → x = -2 + 4 = 2
- 5 units down → y = 3 - 5 = -2
New point: (2, -2)

Do this for all corners. The red shape shown matches this — so we confirm the answer is correct as drawn.

✔ Final Answer for #1: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 2: 2 units left and 6 units down

Original shape is near center-top. Pick a point: say, bottom-left corner at (1, 2).
Move:
- 2 left → x = 1 - 2 = -1
- 6 down → y = 2 - 6 = -4
New point: (-1, -4)

Red shape is drawn there — looks correct.

✔ Final Answer for #2: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 3: 7 units left

Only horizontal move. Original shape is on the right side. Pick a point: say, tip of arrow at (4, -1).
Move 7 left → x = 4 - 7 = -3
Same y: -1

Red shape is at x=-3 — correct.

✔ Final Answer for #3: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 4: 2 units left and 3 units up

Original triangle is in bottom-right. Pick bottom-left corner at (2, -4).
Move:
- 2 left → x = 0
- 3 up → y = -1
New point: (0, -1)

Red triangle is drawn starting around there — yes, matches.

✔ Final Answer for #4: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 5: 6 units up and 8 units right

Original rectangle is in bottom-left. Pick bottom-left corner at (-5, -5).
Move:
- 8 right → x = 3
- 6 up → y = 1
New point: (3, 1)

Red rectangle is drawn there — correct.

✔ Final Answer for #5: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 6: 1 unit right and 5 units up

Original house-shaped figure is at bottom-center. Pick bottom-left corner at (-1, -4).
Move:
- 1 right → x = 0
- 5 up → y = 1
New point: (0, 1)

Red house is drawn with base from x=0 to x=2, y=1 — perfect match.

✔ Final Answer for #6: Shape moved correctly to red position.

Problem 7: 3 units up and 1 unit left

Original pentagon-like shape is at bottom-left. Pick bottom-left corner at (-3, -4).
Move:
- 1 left → x = -4
- 3 up → y = -1
New point: (-4, -1)

Red shape is drawn starting at x=-4, y=-1 — correct.

✔ Final Answer for #7: Shape moved correctly to red position.

---

Problem 8: 5 units down

Only vertical move. Original cross-shape is near top-center. Pick center point at (0, 3).
Move 5 down → y = 3 - 5 = -2
Same x: 0

Red shape is centered at (0, -2) — correct.

✔ Final Answer for #8: Shape moved correctly to red position.

---

Problem 9: 2 units down and 4 units left

Original diamond-with-cross is in top-right. Pick center at (3, 3).
Move:
- 4 left → x = -1
- 2 down → y = 1
New center: (-1, 1)

Red shape is drawn centered at (-1, 1) — correct.

✔ Final Answer for #9: Shape moved correctly to red position.
