Test questions on transformations: Slides, Flips, Turns (Grade 4)

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ➡️ Slide (Translation): Moving a shape without rotating or flipping it. The shape stays the same, just in a different spot.
• 🔄 Turn (Rotation): Spinning a shape around a point. We measure turns in degrees (like $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, $360^{\circ}$).
• mirror Flip (Reflection): Creating a mirror image of a shape over a line. The flipped image is the same shape and size but reversed.
• 📐 Congruent: Transformations create congruent shapes! This means the shapes are the same size and shape, even after the slide, flip, or turn.
