Drawing Mirror Images
In this mirror images activity, students solve 4 problems in which mirror image patterns are identified and mirror images of geometric figures are drawn. This page is intended to be an online activity, but can be completed on paper.
Curated OER
Math Problems, Calculations and Mirror Images
In this online math exercises worksheet, students complete a variety of assignments including practicing eight math calculations, two word problems and drawing three mirror images. Students check their work online as they go.

Symmetry Using Polygons
Working on symmetry in your class? If so, this worksheet might be for you. Learners observe different triangles and quadrilaterals, determine which are symmetrical, draw in the lines of symmetry, and color the symmetrical shapes. In...
Curated OER
The Geometry of Real Images
In this math worksheet, students read the examples for using the techniques of mathematical modeling. They draw the angles in order to simulate the reflection of light while using a concave mirror.
Curated OER
Draw the Other Half
How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...
Math by Design
Transformations – Reflections
Scholars use interactive resources to figure out how to mathematically draw a reflection of a geometric shape viewed in a mirror. To conclude the activity, class members are asked to deduce the result of multiple reflections across...
Curated OER
Multiple Images Activity
In this images worksheet, students use different sized mirrors to determine how many angles and images are reflected. Students complete 5 sets of directions.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Is this the line of symmetry? Scholars analyze 12 images to determine whether or not the dotted line in each reflects symmetry. There are three examples for them to reference before they start, so consider reviewing these together before...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
In this math learning exercise, students practice drawing the lines of symmetry for each of the polygons. They also draw mirror images for the figures.
Curated OER
Ray Diagrams - Mirrors
In this light rays worksheet, students draw the three rays necessary to determine the location of the image. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Mirror Trees
In this painting worksheet, students fold a card in half and following the instructions, paint a tree and its mirror image. There are no visual clues on the page; students read each step to follow. This page is from Northern Ireland.
Curated OER
Symmetry
Where is the line of symmetry? Learners begin by drawing in a line to split three images evenly in half, using an example as reference. Encourage them to think about physically folding the picture to solidify this concept. Next, they do...
Curated OER
Line Symmetry
Teach your class about symmetry lines with this resource. This learning exercise defines symmetry and explains lines of symmetry and how they work. Learners examine a variety of examples before drawing lines of symmetry in 5 figures. The...
Curated OER
Light and Optics
In this light and optics worksheet, 11th graders fill in 7 blanks about the nature of light, draw 9 diagrams to illustrate reflection, refraction, lenses and color.
Curated OER
Missing Halves
In this halves of objects worksheet, students draw the other half for the leaf, scarecrow, apple, and tree to help them understand symmetry.
Curated OER
Matching Directions
These abstract shapes are pointing in different directions and young scholars determine which ones are oriented the same way. For each of five starting shapes they examine a set of four identical figures pointing in various directions,...
Curated OER
Matching Directions
Which of these shapes is pointing the same way? Pre-readers examine five rows of familiar objects. The first item points to the right for each, and they must determine which of the subsequent items in each row points the same direction....

Cartoons for the Classroom: Satire or Slander
Encourage your young learners to analyze and think critically about how media portrays people or events. Upper graders analyze a political cartoon depicting President Obama as a Muslim and the First Lady as a revolutionary. Guided by...
