Creating Symmetry through Shape Transformations
Add to favorites tutorialCreating Symmetry through Shape Transformations
Translation, dilation, rotation, and reflection are four different, unique strategies used for transforming shapes. – AIO
The word “transformation” refers to a movement or change in a geometric shape. If we slide a geometric shape to the right or left, this is called a “translation”.– MathArt

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards for School Mathematics in geometry says:
“Instructional programs from pre kindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to apply transformations and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations; use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems.” – K12Hi.us
Math is Fun – gives an excellent lesson on Symmetry and how Shape Transformation helps us to achieve this.
