Reflecting Shapes on a Grid

 

Students learn how to reflect shapes on a grid using horizontal, vertical and diagonal mirror lines.

Later, as learning progresses they describe the line of symmetry as a straight line graph.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to reflect an object in a vertical and horizontal mirror line on a grid.
  • Most students should be able to reflect an object in a vertical, horizontal and diagonal mirror line on a grid.
  • Some students should be able to perform and describe vertical, horizontal and diagonal reflections on a grid.
