Flips, Slides, and Turns of Shapes
Mathematicians use flips, slides, and turns to describe how shapes can move. Use an orange triangle (Polygon L) to see how the shaded triangle can move to make Copy A, Copy B, and Copy C. Try slides, flips, and turns.
- Use words to tell how the triangle moves. Start at the shaded triangle each time.
- From the shaded triangle to Copy A
- From the shaded triangle to Copy B
- From the shaded triangle to Copy C
- With your group, make a list of words and phrases that can help you tell how the triangle moves.
