Lesson 4

In this lesson, children will reflect objects using lines that are parallel to the axes. They will be introduced to the terms ‘object’ meaning the shape before it is reflected and ‘image’ meaning of shape after reflection. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.
