Transformations

Transformations Anchor Chart

A geometrical transformation is simply the changing of an object's position. The size and shape of the object do not change, only the position. There are three types: Translation, Rotation, and Reflection.

A translations is a slide. There are no flips or turns. A reflection is a flip, or mirror image. If it is a reflection, we should be able to draw a line of symmetry in between the shapes. A rotation is a turn along a certain point.
