Movement?

This was quite interesting to say the least and quite confusing to start with a way to teach about reflections, translations, and rotations. the beginning is quite easy to say is the object staying the same size and shape, if not your in the wrong spot
if your problem looks like dilation it is a different part of math that i will not cover. 
translation the movement of a shape left or right, up or down, or left and down, ect
rotation is an object turned a certain degree such as turned 90 degrees as in the picture above, 180 or 270 degrees. done be confused an object can be turned in either  clockwise or counterclockwise
last but not the least confusing reflection, an object that is "flipped over the mirror line, not symmetry.  and looks the same but in reversed over the mirror line. 

another example here to show the 3 main movements of a shape
