Rotations or turn
Congruent figures that result from a rotation about a point. A rotation is a transformation of a plane determined by holding one point -the center- fixed and rotating the plane about this point by a certain amount in a certain direction (a certain number of degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise)
(A 360 degrees rotation is called identity transformation)
Reflections or flip
A reflection reverses the orientation of the original figure
Glide Reflection
A glide reflection is a transformation consisting of a translation followed by a reflection in a line parallel to the slide arrow
