Coordinate Transformations
Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original

If your child is asked to rotate a triangle 90° clockwise around a fixed point, can they work out where each corner ends up — and confirm the triangle is still the same size and shape?
