SlideS, fliPS And turnS

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

Note
When a shape simply moves from one place to
another in one direction, it slides. When you slide an
object, you move
Here, an arrow slides towards the right. the object across.

flip

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

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

teacher’s Discuss with the children that slide (translation), flip (reflection) and turn (rotation) are different forms of
tip transformation we can do to a shape. After any of these transformations, the size, area and length of the shape
remain the same.
