Reflecting shapes II 0 Overview Using this Resource Connecting to the Curriculum Marking Student Responses Working with Students Further Resources This task is about drawing reflections. Question Change answer a) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. a) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. Question Change answer b) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. b) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. Question Change answer c) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. c) Draw the reflection of the shape in the mirror line. Task administration: This task can be completed with pencil and paper or online. Drawing online can require good hand-mouse-eye co-ordination depending upon the device used, and student familiarity with drawing tools: such as the polygon tool . Level: 4 Curriculum info: Maths, Geometry and Measurement, Transformation Keywords: reflection, transformations, drawing Description of task: Students draw reflections of three shapes in mirror lines.

Answers/responses: Y8 (05/2000) a) very easy b) difficult c) very difficult Teaching and learning: This task involves reflecting a shape on a grid, and then as a diagonal on a grid. Reflecting in a diagonal mirror line is notably more challenging than a vertical or horizontal mirror line. Before engaging in this students should have explored drawing lines of symmetry (Mirrors and symmetry) and experienced drawing horizontal, vertical and diagonal reflections of simpler shapes without a grid (e.g., Reflecting shapes, Reflecting figures, Drawing reflections III).
