Reflect:
Reflect in your math journal. Draw, create or write to share your thinking. See Lesson 62 learning guide for more reflection questions, real life anchoring, playful explorations and creative invitations.
Can a shape look symmetrical but not be a reflection? Can it be a reflection but not look symmetrical?
How can you tell if a shape has been reflected or just moved?
Do reflections make shapes look more like twins, shadows, or dance partners? Why does the image feel that way to you?
When a shape flips across a line, what changes and what stays the same? How does the “flipped” shape still remember its original self?
Math Talk:
Have a conversation about this image. Be curious. Be creative. Can you see in different ways?
What do you notice? How do you see? What shows a reflection? What is not reflected? Why?
