Sure! Here are the definitions for each term used in your lessons:

  1. Line of Symmetry - A line that divides a figure into two mirror-image halves.

  2. Reflection - A transformation that creates a mirror image of a shape over a line (the line of reflection).

  3. Rotation - A transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point by a certain angle (degree of rotation).

  4. Transformation - A process that moves or changes a shape into a different position or size.

  5. Dilation - A transformation that alters the size of a shape but maintains its proportions, using a scale factor.

  6. Pre Image - The original shape before any transformation is applied.

  7. Image - The resulting shape after a transformation has been applied to a pre-image.

  8. Shrink - A type of dilation that reduces the size of a shape.

  9. Degree of rotation - The measure of how far a shape is rotated around the center point.

  10. Clockwise - The direction of rotation that moves in the same direction as the hands of a clock.

  11. Scale Factor - A number that describes how much a shape is enlarged or reduced during a dilation.

  12. Translation - A transformation that slides a shape in a straight line from one position to another without changing its size or orientation.

  13. Enlargement/Expansion - A type of dilation that increases the size of a shape.

You can match each term with its corresponding definition based on this information!
