Compare corresponding vertices

Use the matching labels to decide how the solid original reaches the dashed image, then write a coordinate or geometric rule.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Recognize translation, rotation and reflection from corresponding printed figures.

Worked example

Every vertex moves 3 units right and 2 units down. What type of transformation is this?

Translation.

All corresponding vertices have the same displacement, so the figure slides without turning or reflecting.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Compare corresponding labeled vertices.
  • A reflection reverses orientation; a rotation turns around a center.
  • Use all the vertices to distinguish the transformation.

Six labeled original/image pairs cover slides, turns, and flips without naming the answer in the student prompt.
