Identify Types Of Transformations Worksheet

8 problems

8th Grade students are expected to have a solid understanding of geometric transformations. The different types of transformations are translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations. Teachers can provide “Identify types of transformations worksheet” to their students to help them. 

 

In this worksheet, the original figure and its image are given in a coordinate plane and students are asked to identify the type of transformation.

Grade 8
Transformations
8.G.A.1

To solve the worksheet, students should understand the following types of transformations:


 

Translation: The slide of an object without turns or flips; a translation preserves the size, shape, and orientation of the shape (congruent images).


 

Rotation:  A turn around a center point; a rotation preserves the size and shape (congruent images), but not the orientation. 


 

Reflection: A flip of the shape over a line (line of reflection) resulting in a mirror image; a reflection preserves the size and shape (congruent images), but not the orientation


Dilation: A transformation where a shape is made larger or smaller without any change in its position or orientation. The pre-image and the image will be similar shapes
