Subject/Grade/Unit: Geometry/9th and 10th/ 8-2 Reflections Duration: 90 minutes (Time line listed below)
TEKS/ELPS: 3(A) describe and perform transformations of figures in a plane using notation
3(B) determine the image or pre-image of a given two dimensional figure under a composition grid of rigid
transformations, a composition of non rigid transformations, and a composition of both, including dilations where
the center can be any point in the plane.
3(C) identifying the sequence of transformations that will carry a given pre-image onto an image and off the
coordinate plane
3(D) identify and distinguish between reflection and rotational symmetry, in a plane figure.
6(C) apply the definition of congruence, in terms of rigid transformations, to identify congruent figures and their
corresponding sides and angles.

Modifications/Differentiated Instruction: Hands-on activity with coordinate pegboards (visual learners)

Objective/Purpose: Students will be able to find reflection images of figures.

Key Vocabulary:
line of reflection / eje de reflexin
orientation / orientacin
reflection / reflexin

Materials/Resources:
White board, Markers, Pearson geometry textbook and interactive journal, pencil, eraser, XY coordinate
pegboard, rubber bands, plastic pegs, chrome book.

Anticipatory Set: Hook/Prior Knowledge/Focus: (5 minutes)

Give the students the examples of mirror that has the reflection of the object in it.
Explain how the relationship is in terms of the distance between the pre image and the reflection line, and the
distance between the pre image and image. (When you reflect a figure across a line, each point of the figure goes to
another point the same distance from the line, but on the other side.)

Instructional Activities and Procedures (40 minutes)

Go over the Key concept section in the online version of the book and talk about what a reflection is.

After you solve each problem that is given in the textbook, ask students to discuss the question and solve in 3
minutes.

Activity (20 minutes): Pass out the XY coordinate pegboard, some rubber bands and a Ziploc of pegs to students;
ask them to perform this activity with their shoulder partner.
Classwork (20 minutes): Students will work on the Texas test practice (classwork) in interactive journal
Procedure: Students take turns making polygons on their pegboard and giving their partner the ordered pair for
each of the vertices. The partner graphs the shape. The students then tells his or her partner to flip the shape over
the x- axis, y- axis and x=y line. The partner will graph the reflected shape. Check the students pegboard to ensure
they understand how to flip their shape over the given axis and line.
It is also teachers discretion to use the document camera and draw a shape on the pegboard and reflect it with the
projector and ask students to find the reflection of the given figure over x-axis or y-axis or x=y. time the students to
as they try to find the reflection. (3 minutes advised)
