Reflective Symmetry

 

Students learn how to perform and describe reflections of 2D shapes using a mirror line.

As learning progresses, they are challenged to draw diagonal reflections of more complex shapes.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to perform vertical and horizontal reflection.
  • Most students should be able to perform a vertical, horizontal and diagonal reflection.
  • Some students should be able to perform and describe a series of reflections.
