Mira, Mira on the Wall: Reflections
Learners investigate and perform reflections and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast the relationship between reflections and symmetries.
Curated OER
Composition of Reflections
Students perform reflections and translations of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform reflection in two parallel lines. They use Cabri to observe the transformation and rotations of each shape.
