TRANSFORMATIONS PROJECT BY IRAN GUERRA

5. 8 Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student models transformations. (A) The student is expected to sketch the results of translations, rotations, and reflections on a Quadrant I coordinate grid. 5. 8 Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student models transformations. (B) The student is expected to identify the transformation that generates one figure from the other when given two congruent figures on a Quadrant I coordinate grid.

A transformation moves a figure to a new position without changing its size or shape.

A translation moves a figure in a straight direction without rotating, resizing or anything else, just moving.

A reflection of a figure gives it a mirror image over a line. The reflected image is always the same size, it just faces the other way.

Rotation means turning around a center. The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same. Every point makes a circle around the center.
