This Reflection puzzle is a high interest, interactive activity that will allow you to easily see if your students have mastered reflections on a coordinate plane. Students must use the given pre-image points, perform the stated reflections, and then plot the new image points to create a figure which they can then color and decorate.
This can be used as an in class or home project or an assessment.
Common Core 8.G.A.3 - Describe the effect of dilations, translations, rotations, and reflections on two-dimensional figures using coordinates.
This activity could easily be adapted to the 6th grade Common Core standard 6.NS.C.6.b - Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
This activity can be purchased as part of a $5.00 bundle that includes 8 different puzzles including translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations at:
