Transformations - Working with Translations

                     Lesson 1

                                                            

                                                             A translation moves an object without changing its size or shape and without turning it or flipping it.

                                                             The translation of an object is called its image.                                                      

                                                             Problem:           Which of following figures are translations of the shape in the first column?

                                                             Solution             See the image carefully

 Step 1:                      

                     

                                                                                 Solution                 Analyze the pattern that follows and select the image that best matches with the shape

                                                             Step 2:                                  

                                                                                  

                                                                                 Solution                 We can see that image C matches the shape

                                                             Step 3:    

                                                                                                  

 Solution             The answer is:  C

 Step 4:                                                                      

 Complete                                                                   

                                                                                                                               

                                                             Try two practice problems:  

 

                                                                                          Which of following figures are translations of the shape in the first column?
