TRANSFORMATIONS By: Vanessa Cisneros

TEKS • Kindergarten • 6) Geometry and Measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three- dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to: • A) Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles. • F) Create two dimensional shapes using a variety of materials and drawings.

TRANSFORMATION • Definition: A Transformation is changing the form/appearance of any object, shapes or line. There are three ways to do it: Translation, Rotation and Reflection. The original shape is called the “pre-image” and the final shape and position is called the “Transformation”.

EXAMPLES Translation Reflection Rotation
