Description
This digital lesson teaches students about the geometric transformation of reflections.
This resource may be used in the classroom or for distance learning. A lesson with try it yourself problems followed by a practice assignment.
Learning Targets:
•Reflect a preimage over a line of reflection.
•Find the line of reflection when given a preimage and its image.
•Use function notation to describe a reflection.
Materials: device with internet, google account, straightedge, compass, paper, patty paper or alternative
In this lesson, students will be introduced to 3 different ways to complete a reflection:
•Reflect using the geometric tools of a compass and straightedge
•Paper Folding Technique
•Geometry Software
Students will next learn about finding the line of reflection and making the connection that the line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector of the segment formed by a preimage and its image.
Finally, students learn how to describe a reflection using function notation.
NOTES:
•If you would not like your students to have the answers to grade as they go, simply delete those slides before sharing the file with your students.
•Note: Lesson format is compatible with Google slides®
•Answer keys included
•Pages: 50 slides + 17 pages investigation, 4 teacher note pages
•Duration: 90 minutes
