Rigid Transformations

TermDefinition
translation a slide described by length and direction
reflection a flip transformation of an object in a mirror line or reflection line
rotation a transformation in which a figure is turned or rotated about a point
centre of rotation the point around which an object can be rotated
dilation a transformation that changes the size of an object
line of symmetry a mirror line that reflects an object onto itself
rotational symmetry a figure that maps onto itself more than once in a complete turn
point symmetry rotational symmetry of order 2
tesselation an arrangement of shapes that completely covers the plane without overlapping
A rigid transformation (also called an isometry) is a transformation of the plane that preserves length. Reflections, translations, rotations, and combinations of these three transformations are "rigid transformations".
A reflection (flip) is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.
A translation (slide) is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image
Rotation ( flip) the point about which the object is rotated can be inside the figure or anywhere outside it.
Translation (x+h, y+k)
Reflection across the X- Axis (x,-y)
Reflection across the Y- Axis (-x,y)
Reflection across the Y- Axis (-x,y)
Reflection across y=-x (-y,-x)
90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 clockwise (-y,x)
180 degrees both ways (-x,-y)
270 degrees counterclockwise or 90 clockwise (y,-x)
4 Types of Transformations - Rotation - Reflection - Translation - Dilation
Translation A shift of a graph horizontally, vertically, or both, which results in a graph of the same shape and size, but in a different position.
Rotation Turning around an axis or center point.
Reflection A transformation that "flips" a figure over a mirror or reflection line.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
