Geometry: Transformations - Slides, Flips, and Turns


Transformations  are ways in which a shape can be moved. 


There are 3 kinds of transformations.

  • Slide - also called a Translation


  • Flip - also called a Reflection


  • Turn - also called a Rotation

Students could watch a video from Scholastic Study Jams to learn more about transformations. Click on the link below.

  ~ Transformations

After viewing the video, students could practice the 3 movements with geometric shapes or other manipulatives and trace, copy, sketch, and/or label pictures of slides, flips, and turns in their math notebooks.


Have fun with transformations!
