Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 6 | Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 6TopicTransformations DescriptionThis example demonstrates a single reflection in geometric transformations. Two grids labeled "Before" and "After" show a black "T" shape in different orientations. The solution diagram below illustrates a reflection of the shape across a red dashed line, which represents the axis of reflection. This transformation showcases how an object can be flipped over a line while maintaining its size and shape. |

Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 7 | Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 7TopicTransformations DescriptionThis example illustrates a complex combination of transformations: translation, rotation, and reflection. Two grids labeled "Before" and "After" show a black "T" shape in different orientations. The solution diagram below demonstrates three sequential transformations: first, a translation moves the shape, then a rotation turns it (indicated by a pushpin showing the axis of rotation), and finally, a reflection flips it across a red dashed line representing the axis of reflection. |

Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 8 | Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 8TopicTransformations DescriptionThis example demonstrates a simple translation in geometric transformations. Two grids labeled "Before" and "After" show an "O" shape slightly shifted between the grids. The solution diagram below illustrates a translation of the shape from one position to another, showcasing how an object can move position without changing its size or orientation. |

Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 9 | Math Example--Geometric Transformation--Transformations: Example 9TopicTransformations DescriptionThis example illustrates a combination of transformations: translation and rotation. Two circular "O" shapes are shown on a grid, one labeled "Before" and the other "After". The solution involves a translation (movement) and a rotation, with a pushpin indicating the axis of rotation. This demonstrates how multiple transformations can be applied sequentially to a shape. |
