Reflect:
Reflect in your math journal. Draw, create or write to share your thinking. See Lesson guide 62 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?
