2. Forest Symmetry

3. Reflectional Symmetry A reflection is an isometry, which means the original and image are congruent, that can be described as a "flip." To perform a geometry reflection, a line of reflection is needed; the resulting orientation of the two figures are opposite.

11. Transformations Overview Today’s Focus To * Reflection Other Transformations *Rotation *Translation *Dilation

12. Rotation A rotation is a transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point. The fixed point is the center of rotation. Rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form an angle called the angle of rotation.

13. Rotations can be clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise rotation of 60° Counterclockwise rotation of 40°

14. Translation A transformation that maps all points of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

15. P Q P 'P ' Q 'Q ' A translation is a slide. It moves the pre image on a linear path, the same distance in the same direction.
