3.03 Identify, predict, and describe the results of transformation of plane figures: A)

Reflections, B) Translations, C) Rotations

Symmetry

• A figure has line symmetry if it can be folded in half so that two parts match exactly. The fold line is the line of symmetry.

• Rotations, reflections, and translations are called:

• Figures that are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size.

• A rotation turns a figure around a point.

Reflections

• A reflection flips a figure over a line.

Translation• A translation slides a figure in a straight

line.

Act It Out• Use models to solve a problem by acting it

out.
