Students used transparent mirrors to discover Lines of Reflection between congruent images and to create the reflecting image. Students learned the differences between Lines of Reflection and Lines of Symmetry. A Line of Reflection splits congruent images in the middle so that each image is of equal distance from the line. A Line of Symmetry splits one image into two halves that are congruent. The fourth graders have had a blast with this unit.

TranSLation = SLide
