In this resource, you will investigate and apply three congruence transformations; translations, reflections and rotations.

Reflection: A reflection over a line, j, is a transformation in which each point of the original figure (pre-image) has an image that is the same distance from the line of reflection as the original point but is on the opposite side.

Image shows a triangle and its reflection.

Translation: A translation is a transformation that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Image shows a triangle and its translation.

Rotation: A rotation is a transformation that moves every point around a fixed point (usually the origin). Rotations > 0 are counterclockwise. Rotations < 0 are clockwise.
