Lesson 5

In this lesson, children will explore what happens to points when they are reflected in lines parallel to the axes. They will record the coordinates of vertices of the object and those of the image. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.
