Big Idea
We are diving deep into properties of transformations and symmetry.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module, you will be able to do the following:
[Link] an object using coordinates and a vector.
[Link] an object using a center and angle of rotation.
[Link] multiple transformations and identify if objects are
congruent.

_Reflectional_____________ symmetry is when one half of a shape is the
same as the other half over a line of _symmetry___________.
Draw a line
of symmetry
where the
shape has
reflectional
symmetry.
___Rotational____________ symmetry is when a figure is rotated from its
__center________ and as it is being rotated, it is __congruent____________
to the original figure. Shapes can have multiple rotational symmetries. The
__angle________ of rotational symmetry is the smallest angle at which the
shape turns and looks the same as its original shape.
