This worksheet is about understanding the concept of reflection in mathematics, specifically geometric reflections. Here’s a breakdown of what it covers:
- Reflecting Shapes: The main focus is on how to create a mirror image of a shape across different lines of reflection.
- Lines of Reflection: The worksheet provides practice with reflecting shapes across several types of lines:
- Vertical lines (like X = 5)
- Horizontal lines (like Y = -4)
- The line Y = X (where the x and y coordinates are equal)
- The X-axis and Y-axis
- Purpose: The purpose of this worksheet is likely to help students:
- Visualize what happens to a shape when it’s reflected.
- Understand the relationship between the original shape and its reflected image.
- Practice plotting points on a coordinate plane.
- Develop spatial reasoning skills.
The answer key on page 2 shows the correct reflections for each exercise, allowing students to check their work.
