1. Identify for each picture whether it shows a flip, turn or slide:
a. Slide b. turn (half turn) c. flip (flip to the right) d. turn (1/4 turn clockwise) e, flip--this one is very tricky because it is a flip up/down, but it is shown moved over to the side.* f. Slide |
A more typical version of one like e that's kind of tricky to visualize is:
You can see that the figure and its image are both shown in relation to a grid, which you should think of as being the same grid. You can practice more problems like this at http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-2/flip-turn-and-slide
2. Draw where the figure would be after sliding along the arrow:
3. Draw what this shape would look like after turning:
original | a. 1/4 turn clockwise | b. 1/4 turn counter clockwise | c. 1/2 turn |
4. Why do you think I didn't tell you clockwise or counterclockwise when I asked you to draw a 1/2 turn?
Because 1/2 turn clockwise ends up in the same place as 1/2 turn counterclockwise, because it's exactly 1/2 way around.
5. Draw where the figure would be after turning:
6. Draw where the figure would be after flipping across the line
