Geometry Transformations Introduction

Geometric shapes showing transformations

📚 Part 1: Transformation Vocabulary

1. Match each transformation with its correct description:
1. Translation
2. Rotation
3. Reflection
A. Turning a shape around a point
B. Sliding a shape to a new position
C. Flipping a shape over a line
2. Fill in the blanks with the correct transformation words:

When we __________ a shape, we slide it to a new position without changing its size or orientation.

When we __________ a shape, we turn it around a fixed point.

When we __________ a shape, we flip it over a line to create a mirror image.

🔍 Part 2: Identifying Transformations

3. Look at each pair of shapes and circle the type of transformation that occurred:

Shape A to Shape B:

Translation

Rotation

Reflection

Shape C to Shape D:

Translation

Rotation

Reflection

4. Which properties of a shape stay the same during transformations? Check all that apply:

Size

Shape

Position

Number of sides

Orientation (which way it faces)

✏️ Part 3: Drawing Transformations

5. Draw the triangle after it has been translated 3 squares to the right and 2 squares up:
6. Draw the rectangle after it has been rotated 90° clockwise around the marked point:
7. Draw the reflection of the shape across the dotted line:

🤔 Part 4: Understanding Transformations

8. Explain what happens to a shape when it is translated:
9. True or False? Circle your answer and explain why:

When you rotate a square 90°, it looks exactly the same.

True

False

10. Describe a real-life example of each transformation:

Translation: ________________________________

Rotation: ________________________________

Reflection: ________________________________

🌟 Part 5: Challenge Questions

11. If you translate a shape 4 squares right, then translate it 4 squares left, where will it end up?
12. Plan a sequence of transformations to move Shape A to the position of Shape B. Write your steps:
13. Design your own transformation pattern using one shape and at least two different transformations:
