Today we will be continuing to learn about translations.
What does it mean to translate a shape?
In geometry translation means moving a shape into a different position, without changing it in any way. The shape stays the same size but slides into a new position.
Remember when describing how a shape has been translated we say how many units up / down then left or right.
