Draw the line… y = 5

Draw the line… y = -4

Draw the line… x = -2

Draw the line… x = -8

Draw the line… y = 0

Draw the line… y = 0.5

Draw the line… x = 2.5

(5 , 1) (5 , 7) (2 , 1) Plot the coordinates Join them up. What shape is it?

Plot the coordinates x = 0 Draw the line Reflect the triangle in this line What are the new coordinates?

On your grids Draw another shape anywhere on the grid and write down the coordinates. Reflect your shape in the line x = 0 Write down the new coordinates. What do you notice about the new coordinates compared to the coordinates of the original shape? Is this always the case, wherever you draw the original shape? Draw shapes in each of the quadrants to check.

In your books Write up your findings. Write the problem in your own words Include an example drawn in each quadrant. Write a conclusion. Challenge: What if the shapes are reflected in the line y = 0? Before you investigate, make a prediction of what will happen to the coordinates based on your findings. Now investigate in the same way as before.
