Flip, turn, and slide

key notes :

🔁 Flip (Reflection)

• A flip means turning a shape over like a mirror image.
• It changes the side of the shape (left becomes right).
• The shape looks like it is reflected in a mirror.
• The size and shape do not change.
• Example: Like looking at yourself in a mirror 🪞

🔄 Turn (Rotation)

• A turn means moving a shape around a point.
• The shape can turn left or right (clockwise or anticlockwise).
• The shape stays the same size and shape.
• Only the direction changes.
• Example: Turning a clock hand 🕒

---

➡️ Slide (Translation)

• A slide means moving a shape from one place to another.
• The shape does not turn or flip.
• It moves in a straight line.
• The size and shape stay the same.
• Example: Sliding a book across the table 📘
