SlideS, FlipS and TurnS

A shape or figure can be moved in various ways. These are: sliding, flipping and turning.

Slide

When a shape simply moves from one place Be Aware

to another in one direction, it slides. When you slide an
object, you move the

Flip

When we turn a shape over a straight line to form a mirror
image, we call it a flip. A shape can flip either horizontally or
vertically.
Horizontal flip
Turn Vertical flip

When a shape is rotated clockwise or anticlockwise through an angle, it turns. A turn can
