Reflection resources

Task: Answer questions about what happens to the light form a torch. Assessment focus: light.

Task: investigate reflection of light using a torch and mirror. Assessment focus: angle of reflection.

Students describe the images seen in flat and convex mirrors.

Task: Select the correct words to decribe what is happening to light as it travels through a drop of water. Assessment focus: scientific vocabulary.

Task: Describe how the light rays move through a glass prism.

Task: draw a diagram showing how a periscope works. Assessment focus: reflected light.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving translation, reflection and rotation.

Students design school library badges by creating four symmetrical patterns using 2-dimensional shapes. A display board template is included for students to put their work on.

Students draw in the reflected images of two sketches along a given mirror line.

Students use a template to complete three rotations of a bird in the cage. The same template is used to draw the reflection of the bird using the mirror line shown on the cage.

Students identify which transformations could have been used one shape onto another.

Students draw reflections of an object with a mirror line.

In this practical task, students cut out shapes from a folded piece of paper to recreate a pattern of symmetrical shapes.

In this practical task, students use a mirror to help identify and draw lines of symmetry on six pictures.

Students draw reflections of three shapes in mirror lines.

This task requires students to indicate the invariant properties of four transformations (translation, reflection, rotation, enlargement).

Students draw reflections of a number of words.

Students complete pictures by drawing in the other side of a mirror line.

Students draw reflections of shapes in given mirror lines.

Students solve probelms about a reflection and time.

Students draw reflections of shapes in given mirror lines.

Students identify which transformation has been used to map one shape onto another.

Students choose which transformation is being used to continue a pattern.

Students identify whether reflection, rotation, or translation best describes how a shape has been transformed.

Students identify what transformations are used to continue a pattern.
