Reflections in the Coordinate Plane

This activity will support the transition from a visual understanding of reflections to an algebraic understanding of reflections in the coordinate plane. Disclaimers: 1. It only deals with reflections with either the x-axis or the y-axis being the line of reflection. 2. This activity is designed to be done after the initial introduction and exploration of geometric reflections. There is a certain understanding of reflections assumed. (Pre-image and image will be congruent and equidistant from the line of reflection, etc.) If you would like to see what I recommend for introductory activities on reflections, check out: https://thegeometryteacher.wordpress.com/courses-i-teach/the-geometry-course/
