A translation is like a slide. An object slides from one spot to another. It does not change size, doesn't flip, and doesn't change direction. It stays exactly the same, sliding from one spot to another. Think of when you go down a slide on the playground. The picture below shows examples of translations, or slides.
Watch the video below to see how to translate shapes.
After watching the video, on a piece of paper draw 3 shapes of your choice. Translate them to a new spot. Take a picture of your drawing and send it to your teacher!
