Lesson Topic: Symmetry in the Coordinate Plane
Lesson Objective: I can…Locate reflections of coordinate
points across both axes on the coordinate plane using the x-
axis and/or y-axis as the line of symmetry.
Preview of Exit Ticket1. Start at (-5, 2). Reflect across the x-axis. What point do you end up at?2. Start at (-5, 2). Reflect across the y-axis. What point do you end up at?Challenge: Come up with a starting
point and a set of directions to navigate to an ending point, including
at least one reflection. Be sure to include what the ending point is.
Opening Exercise
Give an example of two opposite numbers and
describe where the numbers lie on the number
line. How are opposite numbers similar and how
are they different?
Exercise, continued…
1. When the coordinates of two points are ( , ) and (− , ), 𝑥 𝑦 𝑥 𝑦what line of symmetry do the
points share? Explain.2. When the coordinates of two
points are ( , ) and ( ,− ), 𝑥 𝑦 𝑥 𝑦what line of symmetry do the
points share? Explain.
Let’s Sum it Up…
Answer the following questions in complete sentences:
What does a reflection of a point across a line of symmetry on the coordinate plane
look like?How do we find the ordered pair of a point
reflected across an axis?Why is this important to know how to do?
Example 2: Navigating the Coordinate Plane using
ReflectionsWhere are you after you follow the directions?
Begin at (7, 2). Move 3 units down, then reflect over the y-axis.
Begin at (4, -5). Reflect over the x-axis, then move 7 units down, then to the right 2 units.
Begin at (-3, 0). Reflect over the x-axis then move 6 units to the right. Move up two units, then reflect
over the x-axis again. Begin at (-2, 8). Decrease the y-coordinate by 6.
Reflect over the y-axis, then move down 3 units. Begin at (5, -1). Reflect over the x-axis, then reflect
over the y-axis.*Come up with your own starting points and directions.
Example 3: Describing How to Navigate the Coordinate Plane
Describe a sequence of directions to navigate from the starting point to the ending point. Begin at (9, -3) and end at (-4, -3). Use
exactly one reflection across an axis. Begin at (0, 0) and end at (5, -1). Use
exactly one reflection across an axis. Begin at (0, 0) and end at (-1, -6). Use
exactly two reflections across axes.*Find other sequences that would work for
each set of points above.
Lesson Summary
When the coordinates of two points differ only by one sign, such as (-8, 2) and (8,
2), what do the similarities and differences in the coordinates tell us about their relative locations on the
plane? What is the relationship between (5, 1)
and (5, -1)? Given one point, how can you locate the other?
Exit Ticket (on Socrative)
1. Start at (-5, 2). Reflect across the x-axis. What point do you end up at?
2. Start at (-5, 2). Reflect across the y-axis. What point do you end up at?Challenge: Come up with a starting
point and a set of directions to navigate to an ending point, including at least
one reflection. Be sure to include what the ending point is.
