Real-world examples of slides, flips, and turns

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 📏 Slides (Translations): A slide moves a shape without rotating or resizing it. Think of pushing a book across a table. The book remains the same, just in a new location.
• 🔄 Flips (Reflections): A flip creates a mirror image of a shape. Imagine holding a picture up to a mirror – that's a reflection or flip. It's like reflecting across a line.
• 🎡 Turns (Rotations): A turn rotates a shape around a fixed point. Picture a Ferris wheel. Each seat rotates around the center point. Rotations are measured in degrees (e.g., 90°, 180°, 270°).
• 📐 Transformations: Slides, flips, and turns are all types of transformations. They change the position or orientation of a shape.
