Where is the sleep/wake button on the new iPad Air 2?

I'm trying to help my 80 year mother, who has one, and can't figure it out for herself, by long distance.
 
There are 3 buttons and a toggle that are not the home button.

Press any one and nothing bad will happen, but one of them will turn the screen off.
 
It's the one metal button all alone, on one of the edges. It's on the top ("top" being a short side). Close to one side.

("Top" is a short edge of the rectangle. It has a small hole for headphones, and the sleep/wake button. The opposite edge--the bottom--has a port in the center for charging.)
