Reflections in X and Y Axes WORKSHEET

This worksheet on reflection is split into two sections.

Section A asks students to consider twelve separate sets of axes with an object and its reflected image. Students will then state whether each diagram represents a reflection in the x axis or the y axis.

In section B, learners will carry out twelve reflections of various objects in either the x or y axis as stated. Objects have horizontal, vertical and diagonal sides.

There is a chance to discuss invariant points and overlapping objects and images throughout. Pupils may use tracing paper if accessible and should ensure they use a pencil and ruler at all times when completing mathematical drawings.
