Slides, Flips, and Turns
In this transformation worksheet, 5th graders determine if a pair of figures are related by a slide, flip, or turn. The worksheet reviews rotation, reflection, and translation.
Curated OER
Geometric Transformations
Learners examine images and preimages of a mapping and identify isometry. They view images by M.C. Escher, observe teacher demonstrations, and create a translation image, a rotation image, and a dilation.

Reflection, Rotation and Translation
For this reflection, rotation and translation worksheet, students describe which of the above happens to a set of shapes, and in what order. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
Curated OER
Reflection, Translation and Rotation
In this rotation, reflection and translation learning exercise, students look at shapes on a grid and determine what happens to the shape, in order. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
