Transformations
To transform something is to change
it. In geometry, there are specific
ways to describe how a figure is
changed. The transformations you
will learn about include:
• Translation
• Rotation
• Reflection
• Enlarging
Renaming Transformations
The example
shows how each
vertex moves the
same distance in
the same
direction.
Write the Points
• What are the
coordinates for A, B, C?
• WhatAare theB (-1,1) C (-4,-1)

coordinates for A’, B’.
C’?
A’ (2,5)
• How are they B’ (5,1) C’ (2,-1)
alike?
Rotations are
TURNS!!!
This rotation
is 90 degrees
counterclockwise.
Clockwise Counterclockwise
A reflectioncan be seen in water, in a mirror, in glass, or
in a shiny surface. An object and its reflection have the
same shape and size , but the figures face in opposite
directions . In a mirror, for example, right and left are
switched.
Line reflections are
FLIPS!!!
The line (where a mirror may be placed) is called the
lineofofreflection.
line reflection The distance from a point to the line
of reflection is the same as the distance from the
point's image to the line of reflection.
A reflection can be thought of as a "flipping" of an object over
the line of reflection.

REVIEW: Answer each
question………………………..
Does this
picture show
a translation,
rotation,
dilation, or
reflection?

Basically,
tessellation
a tessellation is a way to tile a
floor (that goes on forever) with shapes
so that there is no overlapping and no
gaps.
Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher (1898-1972) is
known for his creative use of tessellations in his
work. What transformations can you see in this
picture?
Some
birds have
been
translated
and some
have been
rotated.
Can you name examples in real life of
each transformation?
• Translation
• Rotation
• Reflection
• Enlarging
