1.6(A) Classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional
shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language;
1.6(B) Distinguish between attributes that define a two
dimensional or three-dimensional figure;
1.6(C) Create two-dimensional figures, including circles,
triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special rectangles,
rhombuses, and hexagons
1.6(D) Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles,
triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special rectangles,
rhombuses, and hexagons and describe their attributes using
formal geometric language;
1.6(E) Identify three-dimensional solids, including spheres,
cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes), and

translation (slide)
A movement of a geometric figure to a new position
without turning or flipping it

Example:

To Translate a
shape:
Every point of the
shape must move:
the same distance
in the same

reflection (flip)

gure formed by flipping a geometric figure over a line of reflection to obtain a mirror i

A LINE OF REFLECTION IS ALSO CALLED A MIRROR

LINE
Example:

Every point is thesame

distance from the
central line !
... and ...
The reflection hasthe same
sizeas the original image
The central line is called
theMirror Line...

Let's REFLE
CT!

"Rotation" means turning around a center:

Thedistancefrom the center to any point on
the shape stays the same.
Every point makes acirclearound the
center.Here a

triangle
is rotated
around
the point
marked
with a

rotation (turn)
turning of a figure about a fixedpoint

xample:

SO,
You cant let the tip of the triangle
leave the
Smiley face while you move it, in such
a way that
It makes a circle!!!
