Rotation and Translation
The next transformation we will investigate is rotation. A rotation is a turn of an object about a point.
Rotations
You can turn to the right (clockwise)
You can turn to the left (counterclockwise)
We will focus on these turns:
Translation
The last transformation that we will investigate in this lesson is translation. A translation is a slide of an object.
Go to Explore! Translation to find out more about translations.
Translations can be described as a figure that has a slide.
Note the triangle ABC slides to the right and down. We'll look at this more in the next lesson when we look at transformations in the coordinate plane.
