Translating on Coordinate Plane
- Practice sliding a shape left, right, up, or down on a coordinate grid without turning it.
- Use ordered pairs (x, y) to track how each vertex moves during a translation.
- Follow a translation rule or vector (like (x + 3, y - 2)) to move a figure the correct amount.
- Plot the translated points and connect them to draw the new image in the right place.
- Check that the translated shape stays the same size and orientation as the original.
