Exploring Geometric Transformations in Mathematics

What does it mean to rotate a shape?

• To move it up or down

• To shift it left or right

• To turn it around a point

• To copy it across a line

What is the result of translating a shape?

• It creates a mirror image

• It rotates around a central point

• It moves without rotating

• It changes size

How does reflection affect a shape?

• It fills up space completely

• It moves the shape to a new position

• It rotates the shape 90 degrees

• It creates a mirrored copy across an axis

Which transformation involves shifting a shape left, right, up, or down?

• Rotation

• Scaling

• Translation

• Reflection

What is the purpose of geometric transformations?

• To change the color of shapes

• To create complex patterns

• To reduce the size of shapes

• To modify the position or orientation of shapes

What is the goal when filling space with shapes?

• To overlap shapes as much as possible

• To align all shapes in a straight line

• To leave gaps between shapes

• To fill the space completely without overlaps or gaps

What does symmetry in transformations refer to?

• Rotating shapes around a central point

• Shifting shapes in a straight line

• Creating a mirrored copy of a shape across an axis

• Changing the size of shapes
