Transformations: Translations, Reflections, and Rotations
Math Defined
Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
A translation is a movement or slide of a shape from one place to another, defined by its direction and distance.
- •
A reflection is a flip of a shape over a line, also known as the line of reflection, creating a mirror image.
- •
A rotation is a turn of a shape around a point, requiring a center of rotation and an angle of rotation.
