Vertical and Horizontal Reflections WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 8th Grade
CCSS: 8.G.A.1, 8.G.A.2
CCSS Description: Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: a. Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length. b. Angles are taken to angles of the same measure. c. Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.

Vertical and Horizontal Reflections WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Throughout this worksheet, your students will practice reflecting shapes in horizontal and vertical mirror lines as well as drawing mirror lines between an object and an image. All questions are on individual square grids.
In section A, students will be reflecting shapes. Ensure they are equipped with a pencil and a ruler to complete their transformations. The shapes to be reflected are made up of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal sides, and one even has a vertex on a mirror line: the perfect time to introduce and discuss invariant points with your learner or class.
In section B, students will draw a mirror line between a reflected object and image. There are three questions, and two where the object and image overlap.
