Reflection

This video tutorial explains the concept of reflections in mathematics, focusing on mirror lines, also known as axes of reflection. It covers how to reflect shapes by counting squares and ensuring that reflections are perpendicular to the mirror line. The tutorial also addresses handling diagonal mirror lines and provides tips for visualizing reflections. Practice questions are included to reinforce the two fundamental rules: reflections must be perpendicular to the mirror line, and reflected shapes are equidistant from the mirror line.

What should you do if the starting shape overlaps the mirror line?

Describe the two fundamental rules for reflecting a shape.
