This document provides instructions for using computer and iPad applications to perform geometric transformations including translations, rotations, reflections, and coloring of shapes. It describes how to select shapes, copy and paste them, slide them to form tessellations, flip them vertically, rotate them 180 degrees, and change their colors. Hints are provided like holding shift to select multiple shapes at once and using the arrow keys or swiping to nudge shapes in small increments. Examples of tessellations by the artist M.C. Escher are also referenced.

- 12. Computer iPad Click on a shape, press Command A to select all Go to Arrange –Group Press Command D to duplicate and then translate the shapes so that they fit together Tap on a shape and hold, tap on all of the other shapes to select all When all selected, let go and tap one, tap Copy and then tap on the page and select Paste Translate the shapes so that they fit together
- 13. Computer iPad Tricks Select all objects Hold your Shift key down and click multiple shapes select all at once Nudge an object Select the object Press and hold the Command key and tap the arrow keys to nudge object Match the sizes of two objects Match the sizes of any two objects on the screen by tapping on a selection handle on the object you want to resize, and then tapping and holding the object you want to match with another finger. When the words “Match Size” appear on the screen, lift your finger from the resized object first. Nudge an object Tap and hold with one finger the shape you want to nudge, swipe with another finger and it will move in small increments. Try swiping with 2 and 3 fingers for larger increments
