Lesson Outcomes
• After this lesson, students will be able to,
• Identify transformations of geometric shapes
• Understand translations
• Solve exercises involving translations of geometric shapes
Transformation

• A transformation is a process which changes either the size, shape, orientation, or

position of a figure
• When we perform a transformation, the original is called the object and the resulting
figure is called the image.
• So a transformation can be a,

• A translation is a transformation in which every point of a figure moves a fixed

distance in a given direction.

GeoGebra App for Translation

Translation
• Determine the translation from A to Á
• First you need to observe if the object and image the same shape. If they are then there is
translation, otherwise there is no translation.

Here both object and image are the same shape.
