Example Questions
Example Question #1692 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Observe the location of the black and orange angles on the provided coordinate plane and identify which of the following transformations—rotation, translation, or reflection—the black angle has undergone in order to reach the position of the orange angle. Select the answer that provides the correct transformation shown in the provided image.
A rotation
A translation up and to the right
A reflection over the x-axis
A translation up and to the right
First, let's define the possible transformations.
Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, the line was not rotated because that rotation would have caused direction of the angle to turn a bit, but the angle's direction did not change. The line was not reflected over the y-axis because the angle was not flipped and the opening of the angle is not facing the opposite direction; thus, the correct answer is a translation up and to the right.
Example Question #334 : Grade 8
Observe the location of the black and orange angles on the provided coordinate plane and identify which of the following transformations—rotation, translation, or reflection—the black angle has undergone in order to reach the position of the orange angle. Select the answer that provides the correct transformation shown in the provided image.
A reflection over the y-axis
Translation to the right
A rotation
Translation to the right

Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, the line was not rotated because that rotation would have caused direction of the angle to turn a bit, but the angle's direction did not change. The line was not reflected over the y-axis because the angle was not flipped and the opening of the angle is not facing the opposite direction; thus, the correct answer is a translation up and to the left.
