Weds Sep 21st - Reflections

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: TO understand how to draw a reflection in a mirror line

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to draw the image of a shape in a mirror line

STARTER:

Imagine the middle line of your tables is a mirror, Using any objects in the room – books, pens, pencils, chairs?? Etc... create a reflection and its image

LESSON: Can you draw the reflections of these images in the mirror lines shown

On these blank grids draw some shapes by colouring in a variety of squares (or half squares), swap your sheets with someone else in the room, to complete the reflections


 

Reflections on a graph. Work through this MyMthas Lesson. Use the on screen questions repeatedly to give lots of practice.

PLENARY: Checking answers to reflections, using answer feedback from MyMthas lesson with students
