What is a non-example of a transformation?
Translation
Rotation
Reflection
Expanding
Answer explanation
Expanding is not a transformation like translation, rotation, or reflection, which all involve changing the position or orientation of a shape without altering its size. Expanding changes the size, making it a non-example.

The definition of rotation is moving in a straight line.
The definition of rotation is staying still.
The definition of rotation is expanding in size.
Answer explanation

Which of the following is a characteristic of rotation?
Linear Movement
Circular Movement
Random Movement
Answer explanation
Rotation is characterized by circular movement, as it involves an object turning around a central point or axis. Linear movement refers to straight paths, while random movement lacks a defined direction.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Give an example of rotation.
A spinning top
A sliding door
A bouncing ball
Painting a wall
Answer explanation
A spinning top is a clear example of rotation as it spins around its axis. In contrast, a sliding door moves linearly, a bouncing ball moves up and down, and painting a wall involves no rotational movement.

True or False: The point of rotation can be outside of the shape.
True
False
Answer explanation
True. The point of rotation can indeed be outside the shape. For example, when rotating a circle around a point outside of it, the entire shape will still rotate around that external point.
