1. What are transformations? The word "transformation" refers to a movement or change in a geometric shape Introduction to Unit V- Transformations

2. Reflections Definition: A reflection flips the object across a point or line. An object and its reflection have the same shape and size, but the figures face in opposite directions. Example:

3. Reflections in Nature

4. Reflections in photography: Horizontal Reflections Select the upper part of the image, make a copy of it, flip it over vertically and line it up to the bottom of the upper image to make a perfect reflection.

5. Reflections in art: Vertical Reflections

7. Reflections in Art Vitruvian Man by Leonardo Divinci Divinci regularly used math in his art. In fact, he said “Let no one read me who is not a mathematician ”

8. Translation Definition: A translation moves an object without changing its size or shape and without turning it or flipping it. So the object slides Example: A person sliding down a water slide

9. Translations in Architecture How is this an example of a translation? Where do you see reflections in this picture?

11. Rotations Definition: A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point called the center of rotation. Characteristics: An object and its rotation are the same shape and size, but the figures may be turned in different directions.

15. Doors, Pair, ca. 1325–1330; Mamluk period (1250-1517) What other transformation do you see in this picture?

16. Dilation Definition: A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size. Example:

18. Enlarged Multinucleate Cell

19. Line symmetry Symmetry occurs when two halves of a figure mirror each other across a line. The line of symmetry is the line that divides the figure into two mirror images. A simple test to determine if a figure has line symmetry is to fold the figure along the supposed line of symmetry and see if the two halves of the figure coincide.

24. Point Symmetry/ Rotational Symmetry An object has rotational symmetry if there is a center point around which the object is turned (rotated) a certain number of degrees and the object looks the same. A geometric figure has rotational symmetry if the figure is the image of itself under a rotation about a point through any angle whose measure is strictly between 0º and 360º. The angles of 0º and 360º are excluded since nothing new happens. Example: When you are riding on a ferris wheel, you are rotating around the center of the ferris wheel
