Symmetry and Transformations Word Search

Explore the language of moving or comparing geometric figures. Reflection, rotation, and translation describe different transformations, while other entries name a reference point or a preserved property. The definitions focus on the relationship between an original figure and its image, without requiring a particular drawing or promising that every pictured object has exact mathematical symmetry. This three-page PDF contains an eighteen-by-eighteen letter grid with a twelve-word bank, a companion definition worksheet, and a separate marked-grid solution.

Find and mark the twelve listed words in the letter grid. Use the matching definition clues to check each term. Complete the companion clue worksheet, then compare your results with the answer key. Words may run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, forwards or backwards. Page 1 is the puzzle, page 2 the clues, and page 3 the grid solution. The clue answers follow the word-bank order.

Select the file matching the paper loaded in your printer. Choose portrait orientation and actual size (100%). If your printer clips the edge, use its fit-to-page setting and check the print preview first. Print a single page before making several copies.

For a multipage pack, select the page range you need. Page numbers appear in the lower right of every sheet.
